About 90 per cent of regional agriculture is rain-fed, which makes it vulnerable to drought, hence threatening the region’s food security, agriculture experts have said.
Speaking on Wednesday at a sub-regional workshop on investments in climate-smart agriculture, in Kigali, the experts called for collaboration between all players to implement sustainable irrigation as one of the means to tackle climate change effects.
The two-day conference, which closed yesterday, was organised by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO).
It brought together agriculture experts from 11 eastern African countries.
