Preventing Drought and Water Crisis in Africa
Organization information
Action Change (Formerly GVI Trust)
Location: London, United Kingdom
Summary
Many African countries rely heavily on agriculture as their source of income and many families often grow their own food due to lack of income/ access to shops. These pressures can be further amplified due to the fact that water is scarce in many African countries. Innovative farming solutions such as vermi-aquaponics, allow for these critical areas to continue farming successfully even in times of extreme drought, as these systems use 10% of the amount of water that normal farming requires.
