3. SMALLHOLDER
FARMERS
Smallholder farmers in Southern Egypt are facing several
challenges that make them particularly vulnerable. The
most prominent of these are limited productive capacity
because of land fragmentation, limited water resources,
inefficient irrigation, limited access to technical support,
and severe exposure to climate risks.

4. WHY UPPER
EGYPT?
FOOD PRODUCTION
comparatively lower in the
Southern zone than
elsewhere in the country.
HIGHER TEMPERATURE
The higher temperature of the
zone is a key factor
contributing to lower
agricultural productivity.
CHRONIC POVERTY
chronic poverty, preventing
people from investing to
enhance their productivity
through the provision of
inputs and maintenance of
land, leading to further
deterioration of the resource
CLIMATE IMPACTED
ENVIRONMENT
is forcing people to
overexploit their already
stressed natural
resources, mainly land and
water, to compensate for low
productivity.

6. INTERVENTIONS OBJECTIVE
20XX PITCH DECK 6
support smallholder farming communities of Southern
Egypt and increase their resilience through awareness and
knowledge, reducing losses due to extreme weather,
improving irrigation techniques, introducing adaptive crop
production techniques, diversification of livelihoods, and
building institutional capacity both at community and
policy level.

10. INTRODUCTION OF IMPROVED
AGRICULTURE TECHNIQUES.
* The changing of the sowing
dates
* Raised bed cultivation.
Saving 25-30 of irrigation water
increase production 15-20%
INTRODUCTION OF HEAT-
TOLERANT VARIETIES.
Seeds of Heat-tolerant varieties of the main
crops that the farmers of the zone
traditionally cultivate-namely wheat, and
other crops such as maize, berseem will
introduced to increase production under CC
10%
ESTABLISHMENT OF WATER
USER ASSOCIATIONS (WUA)
Integrated water management
saving 5-10% of water
INTRODUCTION OF PHYSICAL
LOW-COST IRRIGATION
IMPROVEMENT TECHNIQUES.
Physical techniques such as
laser leveling of the soil are
introduced. Reducing
irregularities of the soil
surface, this technique
increases irrigation efficiency
by reducing water clogging.
PRODUCTION OF ALTERNATIVE
LIVESTOCK FODDER
The project uses agricultural
waste as the main constituent
upon supplementation with
low-cost additives (molasses
and bran) to improve its
nutritional value in animal
