#ClimateAction #SelamAndHello #LivingWithTheLand #PoliticsofWaterIn this final conversation for Selam & Hello's Living With the Land series, Dr. Anna Msigwa traces the path that led her into hydrology, climate adaptation, and agricultural water management. Based at the Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology in Tanzania and also serving as a Research Associate at the University of Arizona Water Resources Research Center, Anna works at the intersection of water, climate, agriculture, and resilience.Anna reflects on growing up in southern Tanzania, where water was both abundant and scarce, and how those early experiences shaped her understanding of water as a precious resource. She shares how a research project in the Pangani Basin and a conversation with a farmer who thought underground water was endless pushed her to pursue a PhD focused on sustainable water use and evidence-based decision-making for farmers, policymakers, and water managers.The conversation also explores how climate change is already reshaping agriculture, why co-design with farmers is essential, and what practical innovation could look like in the years ahead. Anna's vision for 2050 is clear: localized early warning systems that speak to farmers in their own languages, on their mobile phones, alongside smarter small-scale irrigation systems that reduce dependence on rainfall and strengthen resilience.This episode asks a simple but urgent question: what does it really mean to steward water well, and how can science help us live with the land more wisely?In this episode: 💧How growing up in Tanzania shaped Dr. Msigwa's curiosity about water, agriculture, and climate resilience. 💧Why water is never abstract — and how sustainable management depends on knowing what is available, what is being used, and what is being saved. 💧How farmers are already adapting to drought and climate shocks 💧What Dr. Msigwa hopes agriculture could look like by 2050This episode is part of Living with the Land, a special series from Selam & Hello in partnership with the Australian High Commission in Kenya, exploring the people and ideas shaping the future of agriculture across Africa.About Dr. Anna Msigwa: Dr. Anna Haji Msigwa is a hydrologist, climate adaptation expert, and lecturer at the Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology in Tanzania. Her work sits at the intersection of water, agriculture, climate resilience, remote sensing, and AI, with pioneering research in the Pangani River Basin and on AI-powered drought early warning systems.
