Local solutions against drought in Mexico

Local solutions against drought in Mexico

With climate change making rains scarcer in the Mixteca region of Mexico's Oaxaca state, SGP is helping local farmers find local solutions to adapt. For amaranth crops, SGP supports communities to irrigate their crops year-round through a mobile solar pump. In Tlacotepec Plumas, the Semillas de Vida initiative supports native seeds preservation and rainwater harvesting. In San Andrés Dinicuiti, the community is restoring the watershed to retain rainwater.
