| dc.description | The impact of natural hazards on the agriculture sector can be devastating. To reduce the effects of climate change, farmers use strategies to counter effect the influence of a natural disaster. For example saving rooftop rainwater can help during draught, and mulching help maintain soil moisture. In this good practice, first, steps and requirements for rainwater collection are explained. Building on water harvesting, drip irrigation system is explained which is crucial for water saving during irrigation in the dry seasons. Third, mulching methods are described. Mulching is a technique that is used to cover and to keep soil moisture for a better plant growth, and finally a cost-benefit analysis of their combined application is presented. | |
