A participatory workshop was held with citrus farmers in the Northern Jordan Valley, focusing on the critical interlinkages between irrigation water management and food security. The workshop provided a platform for open dialogue on the challenges facing citrus production, particularly water availability, water-use efficiency, and the impacts of climate variability on agricultural productivity and livelihoods.
The discussions highlighted the importance of sustainable irrigation practices, improved water governance, and the adoption of efficient technologies to ensure the long-term viability of citrus farming in the region. Farmers shared their on-the-ground experiences and concerns, while technical experts presented insights on best practices for optimizing water use without compromising crop quality or yields.
