Webinar: Mapping Marginalisation : September 4th, 2024
Amitangshu
Dear All,
Sharing with everyone an invitation to the second episode of our Webinar Series “Watering the Margins” from the IHE Delft Institute for Water Education, the Netherlands.
On the 4th of September (10 A.M-12:00 A.M CEST /13:30 -15:30 IST), we will be discussing the challenges to mapping inequity and marginalisation in
irrigation, especially related to those encountered by smallholders.
Based on remotely sensed data farmlands are often labeled as “efficient” and “productive” on account of the amount of water used against the quantity of crop produced, but it doesn’t reveal the hidden geographies of ethnic, caste, and gender-based inequality.
Mapping Marginalisation will explore the challenges of mapping inequity in irrigation and how such insights can help us reimagine “efficiency” and “productivity” in agricultural water management. It will also ask how we can pursue concerns of justice in the allocation and access of agricultural water through geospatial analysis.
The registration link is provided below in the invite.
Please feel free to share it in your networks.
Regards
