The Ministry of Environment and Energy of Costa Rica (MINAE) and the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation of Peru (MINAGRI), joined forces with a program that will allow joint actions for the exchange of water harvesting technologies.
According to information from The Costa Rica News, “the objective of this initiative is the transfer of practices and successful experiences between both countries, learning in the case of Costa Rica the practice of sowing and harvesting water and in the case of Peru sharing with the Peruvian regions of Piura and Ayacucho, our experience in the payment for eco-systemic services and water cannon”.
This project also has financial aid from the European Union through its EUROCLIMA+ component. It was created as a measure to adapt to climate change.
Other that will be benefiting from the initiative are indigenous and peasant farmers from both countries.
“According to the plan of action of this joint proposal, the project will last 2 years”, the aforementioned media said.
