Description

Addressing the urgent challenge of water scarcity, this academic work explores the impact of insufficient seasonal rainfall and dry spells on cropping seasons. In many rainfed smallholder systems, inefficient agricultural practices and a lack of soil and water conservation efforts make food security difficult to maintain. This research moves away from the fragmented approaches used in past studies to offer a more integrated perspective on these complex issues. Based on research conducted in the semi-arid Makanya catchment of northern Tanzania, this book provides a detailed look at how smallholder farmers can navigate the difficulties of subsistence farming. By examining the specific needs of rainfed systems, the text offers insights into improving water productivity to help secure food supplies. This volume is part of the IHE Delft PhD Thesis Series, making it a valuable resource for those studying agricultural water management and sustainable farming practices in semi-arid environments.
