A cotton programme in India that enables the use of micro-irrigation technology via a community funding mechanism has been found to save farmers significant labour, money and water. The report, which was developed by C&A Foundation in partnership with the Aga Khan Foundation and the Aga Khan Rural Support Programme (India), found that the Drip Pool Programme helps farmers access drip irrigation technology resulting in several benefits including a 31% higher net income from cotton cultivation compared to non-drip farmers in Gujarat in India.
