Abstract

This summary is based on a forthcoming RiPPLE Working Paper: Income diversification through improved irrigation: impacts, constraints and prospects for poverty reduction.

This study examined the role of water investments (specifically irrigation) in increasing the resilience of small-scale farmers through income diversification in different agro-ecological settings, and sought to understand the constraints faced by households in generating income from productive water use.
