international experiences to farmers
To acquire the knowledge of new farming methods and grasping
proven agricultural practices intended to increase water productivity, knowledge-sharing
sessions are conducted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United
Nations (FAO), in Urmia, in close collaboration with government of Iran and the
support from the government of Japan.

Eying to increase resilience in agriculture sector, the
sessions include presenting successful international experiences in agriculture
in similar climate conditions of the pilot site. These experiences could be
used by farmers, assisting them to comprehend how to improve climate-resilient
practices in agriculture.

Benefiting from the shared different experiences of other
farmers, local farmers will be equipped with different scenarios for improving
the cultivation system, irrigation, and value chain. Based in Balanej Dehestan
in Urmia, the initiative provides on the ground and feasible alternatives for
the current farming methods in the region.

“Since 2016, FAO has supported the Urmia Lake Restoration
Programme (ULRP) agency with technical advice and sharing of international best
practices in water accounting, drought management, and socio-economic
analyses.” Said Aziz Elbehri, senior economist at FAO Regional Office for Asia
and the Pacific, and the project lead technical officer.

mentioning the focus of the project on farmer level
technologies that leads to improve water productivity, increase yields, and
sustain farmers income, Elbehri underscored that learning from different
countries experiences will “enable Iran farmers to adapt these technologies to
their local conditions, speed up their mastery, and facilitate acceptance.”.

“Agricultural education and extension are the best way
leading to empowering stakeholders. Benefiting from the agricultural extension,
the farmers will be equipped with modern technologies and scientific methods.”

She believed that “the farmers who adopt and manage their
farms based on the new findings, certainly will have higher performance rather
than those who farm in demonstration site.”

“Sharing different experiences by leading farmers to improve
other colleagues’ development skills is One of the focuses of the Ministry of
Agriculture Jahad. Benefiting from the lessons learned from other farmers, this
method becomes much more effective rather than a theoretical alternative.”
Ahmadian highlighted.
