Laser land leveling offers a 'fail safe' and efficient approach to ensuring field uniformity.
The solar irrigation pump (SIP) is a low-cost, low throughput pump, useful where rainfall is unreliable and traditional pumps are impractical.
Community-led implementation of the set of irrigation innovations is critical to sustainable adoption, enabling innovations to be tailored to farmers’ needs.

Mobilizing and training rural communities to construct low-cost water management mechanisms
Farmers across the Global South can learn from agroecological solutions presented by their peers via Access Agriculture’s online video platform. While thousands of organizations and rural service providers have freely downloaded and shared these videos from Africa, Asia and Latin America, farmers have become the largest occupational group signing up for Access Agriculture. At least sixty million farmers have seen Access Agriculture videos.
Improving developing countries’ capacities to obtain and access domestic and global agricultural information through CropWatch
Connecting tractor owners and smallholder farmers to ensure faster planting.
Mechanized raised-bed (MRB) irrigation is a field-configuration technology that enhances water use efficiency in dryland conditions. This technology, along with improved crop varieties and agronomic practices, is part of a MRB production package that improves farm productivity and income. For wheat in Egypt, MRB led to an average 25 percent increase in yield, more than 60 percent increase in water productivity and about 20 percent in farming cost reduction.
When properly managed, conservation agriculture can benefit both farmers and the environment. Conservation agriculture refers to the use of technologies and practices that enhance crop productivity while improving resource-use efficiency and soil health. As an alternative to conventional tillage for rainfed drylands, it not only saves time and labour, but also conserves water and nutrients in the soil to make crop production more resilient to climate change.
