While this is experienced vividly on the ground, the spatial dimensions of such inequities are rarely visible in satellite imagery. Remotely sensed data can label an area as “efficient” and “productive” based exclusively on the amount of water used against the quantity of crop produced, but it doesn’t reveal the hidden geographies of ethnic, caste, and gender-based inequality.

In light of these challenges, this episode of Watering the Margins we discuss issues related to mapping inequity and marginalisation in irrigation, especially concerning the challenges encountered by smallholders.

This webinar brings together Hans C. Komakech from The Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology, Tanzania; Suhas Bhasme from Tata Institute of Social Sciences, India, and Tanya Matthan from the London School of Economics, UK to discuss challenges in establishing the spatial dimensions of inequity and methodological approaches required to navigate concerns of marginality.

Mapping Marginalisation will explore what insights and ideas can such research provide to shape future engagements with smallholders. It will also ask if mapping marginalisation can allow for reimagining “efficiency” and “productivity” in agricultural water management.

Therefore, the assignment for the sugar-producing sector is clear: by 2027, an estimated 205 million additional tons of sugar need to be produced (given the current production of 185 million tons). Production of sugar crops is expected to expand in many parts of the world, with increases coming from a combination of higher yields from existing farms and expansion of crop areas.

In this masterclass webinar from WaterPIP, we will dive into the priorities, opportunities, and challenges in the field of operating and developing sugar cane plantations both from the field and the developer perspectives. There will be a discussion on the implication of sugar cane expansion on water use in a river basin context, evidence-based analysis on the intensification versus expansion of crop areas using the FAO WaPOR database, as well as the impacts of growing different types of sugar crops.

AquaCrop provides a diagnostic tool to assess water productivity at the farm-level and provides insights regarding the possible causes of decreased water productivity (i.e., different types of stresses). This model can be used by agricultural water managers, project leaders, and researchers with a basic understanding of agronomical processes and modeling experience.

This masterclass webinar from WaterPIP is aimed at introducing the AquaCrop simulation model and explaining the simple agronomic background on which AquaCrop is based. After the completion of the webinar, you will be able to run your own simulation based on your own data and understand how you can improve water productivity at the farm-level.
