Short summary
The Lower Ouémé Valley is suitable to rice production thanks to its fertile soils and water resources, though challenged by water management. Two innovative approaches, Smart-Valleys and Intensive Rice Cultivation System, have been implemented to remedy this situation. The combination of these two approaches can improve productivity while conserving water resources. However, their success depends on farmers' ongoing training, access to quality inputs and institutional support.
