Description

<p>  This study assessed the impact of the small-scale irrigation in the northern area of Zambia, hypothesized that the small-scale irrigation affects not only agricultural production but also the rural livelihood. The impact has been evaluated with comparing quantitative indicators such as cultivated areas, agricultural yield/income, food expenditure/diversification, coping strategy index and children's height/weight between the irrigated areas and non-irrigated areas. This study revealed that the introduction of small-scale irrigation not only has a direct impact on the increase in agricultural production and livelihood improvement, but also has a secondary impact on food diversification/security and nutrition improvement．</p>
