Agriculture and irrigation are essential for many countries’ economic growth, social stability, and public health. Indeed, they can stimulate export-driven economic growth. However, this level of economic power requires continued improvements to practices and resource management at all levels – from subsistence to commercial farming. IDS strives to improve capacity at all levels so that a country can develop and sustain a high degree of technical, managerial, engineering, and project planning expertise in the agriculture and livestock sectors.

The technical knowledge of IDS SMEs focuses on developing, improving, and maintaining a country’s agriculture and irrigation infrastructure. Their expertise includes the dissemination and adoption of effective conservation and cultivation methods. Our technical experts offer strategic planning, policy analysis, and capacity building assistance at all levels, from local farms to national policy. IDS SMEs can help organizations invest in efficient and sustainable livestock practices, effectively manage resources, and engineer and maintain critical water infrastructure.
