Farmers use income generated from irrigation agriculture to improve living conditions (replacing roofs, flooring, sun-dried bricks are replaced with fired bricks, and they have added doors and windows). Farmers that have not worked with awp are utilizing irrigation agriculture based upon observation and conversations with neighboring communities (the trainings are self-replicating without awp). Awp continues to raise awareness in the united states about sustainable support that empowers families to become food secure.
