under COSTEA 2 in relation to the 4 challenges of irrigated agriculture summarised below:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1) Ensuring the economic and social development of territories<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>2) Protecting the environment and limiting GHG emissions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>3) Dealing with climatic risks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>4) Innovating at the technical, social and institutional levels<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To meet these challenges, COSTEA mobilises a network of more than 400 experts from various countries and from different scientific and technical fields.<\/p>\n<p>Organised into 12 thematic working groups, COSTEA carries out different types of structuring actions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Promoting agroecological transitions in irrigated systems<\/li>\n<li>Supporting the networking of West African Irrigation Development and Management Agencies<\/li>\n<li>Managing irrigated land with a view to social, economic and environmental sustainability<\/li>\n<li>Promoting the reuse of treated wastewater to reduce pressure on water resources<\/li>\n<li>Developing and managing floodplains in a multifunctional perspective<\/li>\n<li>Promoting the offer of technical, informational, organisational, institutional and commercial services to irrigators<\/li>\n<li>Developing and managing lowland areas and small floodplains in West Africa<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>as well as collaborative actions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Developing participatory approaches to territorial governance<\/li>\n<li>Managing groundwater sustainably<\/li>\n<li>Promoting economic analyses of irrigation projects<\/li>\n<li>Quantifying the environmental impacts of irrigated rice cultivation<\/li>\n<li>Promoting technical, economic, social and institutional innovations in irrigated systems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":4,"menu_order":7,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.comite-costea.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/86"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.comite-costea.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.comite-costea.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.comite-costea.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.comite-costea.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=86"}],"version-history":[{"count":33,"href":"https:\/\/www.comite-costea.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/86\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6752,"href":"https:\/\/www.comite-costea.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/86\/revisions\/6752"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.comite-costea.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.comite-costea.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=86"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
