With climate change, high temperatures, and scarcity of rain in Iraq, we find it difficult to determine future agricultural plans based on the abundance of water and temperatures and providing agricultural sustainability.
Climate change in Iraq is impeding the economic recovery of communities affected by conflict and precipitating risks of secondary displacement, as 60 per cent of farmers struggle with water shortages and reduced crop yield. rural to urban migration, displacement, poor water access, deteriorating soil quality, weak economic infrastructure, and the lack of productive assets and technologies.natural factors, including drought, saltwater, and high amounts of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), are not the only cause behind water contamination. People and government facilities and institutions, including hospitals and oil refineries, are also contributing to the problem.
Tharthar Lake, Habbaniyah Lake, Razzaza Lake, and Southern Marshes are also one of the main projects in Iraq to control flood and storing excess water in some. These lakes serve in protection of the main cities during large floods
The planning of store water and save water, waste treated water can be used for agriculture. The government of Iraq is constructing a mega RO plant in Basra to improve the access to safe water. Construction of dams and diversion of water upstream in Turkey and Iran has exacerbated the crisis.
cover crops and using of green mulch along with subsurface and drip irrigation could be solution of increased yield within limited resources. Zero Tillage and laser levelling reported promising results in terms of yield as well as protecting the soil from degradation and erosion under such circumstances.
Agriculture and finance availability and planning in Kenya together with the prediction of rain patterns is a determining factors when planning agriculture. In most part of the country, farmers start to prepare there farms as early as January to February in every year. With availability of early rain within those months, planting will follow, after six months crops will be harvested with good yields.
