Storyline

Italian Chef Carlo Cracco called on the world community to increase investments in vulnerable rural communities affected by climate change.

Cracco commented while on a trip to Jordan with the UN’s International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) to see the work they are doing supporting local farmers who are coping with water scarcity worsened by climate change.

In recent years, Jordan has been experiencing extreme temperatures and irregular rainfall, which has caused significant disruptions to the local farmers who depend on the predictability of the seasons.

With dwindling water supplies, a growing population, and increased demand, Jordan’s water crisis reflects global trends.

The UN predicts water scarcity could displace 700 million people by 2030.

A dry climate in Jordan is not unexpected, but over the past decade, rising temperatures have seen many farmers struggling to grow crops that are traditionally farmed here.

Nour Banat, a grape farmer and businesswoman Nour Banat had lost many of her plants due to lack of water.

In a visit to Jordan earlier this month, Italian Chef Carlo Cracco saw first-hand the problems that she and other small-scale farmers have been facing.

Nour’s vineyard and income were rejuvenated after she took advantage of a government grant to build a new farm with a well, solar panels, and drip irrigation systems.

This setup, the first in Jordan, allows her to harvest rainwater and irrigate her plants during the hottest months.

The grant is part of an IFAD-funded project that helps over 7000 rural producers adapt to climate change and improve their resilience by providing training and grants that focus on applying best practices in more efficient use of water, including harvesting rainwater and food preservation techniques.
