Description: An innovative irrigation technology was trialled across three pilot sites to enhance sustainable organic agricultural production and conserve water resources. The project successfully identified site-specific needs, secured farmer commitment, monitored and measured performance, and demonstrated a swift return on investment from the initial harvest. Within three months, the project effectively doubled production while eliminating the necessity for manual watering systems, showcasing a remarkable tenfold in water-saving capacity. This success established a replicable business model crucial for addressing irrigation challenges amplified by climate change and droughts in the Pacific region. Consequently, this model significantly contributes to enhancing food self-sufficiency in New Caledonia and neighbouring Pacific islands.
