www.eleqtra.com An irrigation project in Chiansi, outside Lusaka, Zambia, in Africa. Funded by InfraCo Africa (part of the Private Infrastructure Development Group), FMO, EAIF, and the Lundin Foundation, and developed by eleQtra. Life has been tough for smallholder farmers, who are only able to farm six months of the year in Zambia due to lack of water. Now, thanks to InfraCo Africa, irrigation and advanced farming techniques enables Chanyanya to farm year-round. The commercial side of the project grows wheat and soya beans, while smallholders use irrigated market gardens to grow a variety of vegetable and fruit crops. One day this model will be replicated across Africa, improving food security, water access and people's lives. www.infracoafrica.com www.eleqtra.com Filmed and edited by Xplor www.xplorfilm.com
