Irrigation Lending to Smallholder Farmers for Climate Change Adaptation

closed

The project seeks to develop and offer financial solutions for adaptation to climate change to small farmers in order to reduce their vulnerabilities, increase their resilience to climate change, increase their crop productivity and consequently their income. CIDRE will promote this objective by generating an offer of credits for two purposes: (i) improve the infrastructure for conducting surface water captured from springs, lagoons, streams or rivers and pumping systems; and (ii) individual investments in reservoirs at the farm level and systems for applying water to crops that present the least possible losses.
