  • 1 / 1

    Project entry 2011 - Passive floodplain agricultural system, Gohatsion, Ethiopia: Function of detailed-section.

The jury considers the striking essence of this project to be that it re-invents, in a visionary and innovative way, the cultivation of Nile waters and soils that have ensured nutrition and prosperity for the sharing countries for millennia. The idea is simple and impressive. It may allow countries now insufficiently profiting from the valuable river resource to lower dependence from importing artificial fertilizer and to improve food security.
