Someone once said that it is anticipated that the next world war would be about water! At face value this sounds like child’s talk but upon analyzing the impacts of climate change critically, I realise water is one of the most limiting natural resources in agricultural production and yet it is either unavailable or over exploited if available. Not only is it vital to agriculture development but to development in general. Different areas of the world today experience water challenges at different levels. Nations struggle to access the resource and the worst is other sectors of development such as industry and manufacturing are affected by water stress. As seasons change the problem becomes more vivid with each day that passes. In tropical climates, for example, the challenge is exacerbated by poor seasonal rainfall. What then should be done? How much longer can the rains sustain the human race? The expectations are that it does so up to infinity. But will it be able to do so? Is that even possible? How much water can one store for future use?
- I am a post graduate student at the National University of Ireland Galway, studying a masters program in Climate Change, Agriculture and food Security. Prior to this, i studied agricultural science for my bachelors degree at the University of Zambia. I have worked with smallholder farmers since 2007 for the ultimate goal of improving household food security at farmer house hold level. Before everything else, i am human. As a little girl, i identified with plants and flowers much more easily than any of my peers. I did this not only out of curiosity but with special interest too. I collected them where I could and if they were pretty enough, i gifted them to my mother. Therefore, It comes not as a surprise that as an adult, I have so much interest in plants and vegetation.
