The History of Irrigation and Solutions for Ending Hunger, with Fred Ziari

6 Ranch Podcast

How did ancient civilizations like the Romans and Persians manage to revolutionize water transport, and what can we learn from their engineering today? This episode explores the history and innovations of irrigation engineering with agricultural engineer Fred Ziari. The impact of modern irrigation systems, such as the center pivots that have increased crop yields by 30-fold in Rwandan villages and across the World.
Drawing attention to the efficient irrigation systems in eastern Oregon, which has some of the best in the World, we discuss the critical role of sustainable water management in addressing global food security challenges. Discover how this community-driven organization, formed in response to Oregon's high hunger rates, sees local farmers dedicating portions of their land to grow food for those in need. We examine innovative solutions for water and food scarcity, from advanced irrigation technologies to potential new water sources like reverse osmosis of ocean water.
