FAO provides Iranian farmers with learning opportunities on handling low water productivity challenges, monitoring local water resources, and adopting an optimal cropping pattern, to increase farm-household income and reduce water withdrawal.

In partnership with the local agricultural extension authorities in Qazvin Province, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) provides its assistance to equip Iranian farmers in the Qazvin Irrigation Network with the requisite technical knowledge and skills to improve agriculture water productivity.

Covering 80 000 ha of farmlands and hosting nearly 30 000 irrigators, the Qazvin Irrigation Network suffers from several challenges, including but not limited to the agriculture water efficiency and productivity.
