Africa to Asia and Back Again : Testing Adaptation in Flood-Based Farming Systems
Background on FBFSs
The area under these systems in Africa and Asia is estimated at 20-35 million hectares. In spite of this huge area, FBFSs are neglected in most countries, with most attention going to conventional perennial irrigation systems or alternatively to rain-fed agriculture.
FBFSs represent different resource systems that depend on temporary floods such as:
1) Spate irrigation and flood water spreading from ephemeral rivers.
2) Flood recession/ flood rise systems, inundation canals, etc… centered on flood plains.
Land depression systems, based on temporary land inundation
