Food, fuel, fiber, and feed:

Irrigation makes all of these possible, as long as there’s water.

With world water resources under tremendous pressure, advancing how irrigation is managed is crucial.

IIC supports successful integration of precision- and conservation-oriented practices and tools in irrigated systems.

Our focus:

• Supporting irrigators on their journey of determining how to apply water at the right time, right place, and right amount

• Helping clarify return on investment associated with implementing conservation practices that may reduce overall water use, targeting water- limited regions

• Reducing risk and encouraging positive outcomes for agriculture, communities, the environment and food systems through smarter irrigation

• Developing and assisting with programs that equip producers with advanced and precision irrigation management experience, skills and resources
