Food Safety in Bualapha District – Province of Khamouane
- Funding: the Rhône-Alpes region
- Global budget: € 213,495
- Duration: 15 months (March 2010 – May 2011)
The objective of the project is to improve food safety by optimising the irrigation of paddy-fields during the rainy season. Cultivation can thus be launched earlier in the year and the work time dedicated to planting can be better spread out. We should see an increase of production (longer vegetative period) and of land surfaces per farmer. In addition, an optimal level of water in the paddy-fields favours rice growth while avoiding the proliferation of weeds.
