Renovating Old Canals In Tanzania

The Omari brothers of Tanzania represent a new type of farming in the developing world. With the assistance of UNDP and FAO, they are learning to rehabilitate irrigation canals to improve the water supply to their farm. Better water control means better crop production. That is important for developing countries like Tanzania where agriculture accounts for three quarters of its exports. Similar rural employment issues will be addressed at the United Nation's World Summit for Social Development in Denmark in 1995. (3 min.)
