This project was aimed at preparing a long range program for rain enhancement in Southern Italy by cloud seeding with Silver Iodine a method successfully working in Israel, thus enlarging available water resources. The project implemented in the regions of Puglia, Sicily and Sardegna in cooperation with EMS Israel, included data collection, establishment of agro-meteorological stations, use of seeding planes, equipment and computerized evaluation of treatments.

 

Barbados:

Agricultural Diversification project, financed by the World Bank and implemented by Agridev. The project included technical assistance for the development and expansions of cotton production, as one of the substitutes to the sugar-cane monoculture.
