project summary

Production of foods requires water and climate changes will further aggrevate the problems with limited fresh water resources in many African countries. Agriculture in the future will depend on the use of low quality water for irrigation, in particular for the increasing urban productions. The SaWaFo project will address these challenges by doing both action risk assessment-based and policy-oriented research in Ghana and Tanzania that will allow farmers safely to use low quality water for food production.
