Global Farmer Voices, Episode 11: Gabriela Cruz & Amadou Sidibe

Welcome to the Global Farmer Voices Podcast, produced and edited by the Global Farmer Network, where we invite farmers from around the world to share their stories and perspectives. Gabriella Cruz is a conventional farmer from Portugal of various cereals, rapeseed, cattle, and Iberian hogs. Being a fourth-generation farmer, she is well-educated on the importance of water efficiency and conservation. In stark contrast to Gabriela is farmer Amadou Sidibe from Mali. Amadou began his professional career as an architect but eventually discovered a dedication and passion for agriculture. Being from West Africa, rather than southwestern Europe, water usage in agriculture looks much different but is just as vital. Throughout this episode, we will be taking a deep dive into both Gabriela and Amadou's personal stories and operations, as well as all things water-related. Listen to learn more about how these two agriculturalists focus on water sustainability through the implementation of various water resource management technologies.
