Chapter 01
2026
Choya's garden and the work still ahead
FAO's 2026 report describes Choya residents facing dry-season water shortages, animal damage to unfenced crops, and long journeys to markets at Bureng and Jarreng. The article foregrounds women cultivators' accounts of the work required to lift water and protect food crops. These are attributed local experiences, not a claim about every household.
At the time of the report, FAO said a new garden's layout and fence were in place and a borehole had been dug, while water tanks, solar equipment, reservoirs and other facilities were still forthcoming. The account should be read as a project-in-progress, not evidence that year-round production or promised income gains had already arrived.
