How solar-powered irrigation makes African Farmers TEN TIMES more Money

🗣 In Africa, 80% of families depend on agriculture for their livelihoods, and only 4% have access to irrigation systems. With today’s climate crisis, it has become increasingly difficult to predict rainfall and as a result, many smallholder farmers lose their crops. Some of the major obstacles they face include low productivity and lack of infrastructure and technology 🚜 SunCulture helps small farmers grow food without relying on rainfall, thanks to solar-powered irrigation systems. Over the past 8 years, they’ve been developing an off-grid solar technology to provide farmers with reliable access to water, irrigation, lighting, and mobile charging 💧⚡️ SunCulture is currently the largest solar pump distributor in Sub-Saharan Africa, positively impacting tens of thousands of farmers in 4 countries. On average, they allow farmers to increase their income by up to 10 times, increase yield by up to 5 times, and reduce water usage by 80% 🚀 Enjoy episode #35 on Sun Culture 🎬 #solarenergy #empoweringfarmers #accesstoenergy #SDG7 #foodsecurity #zerohunger #SDG2 #socialentrepreneurship #sdgworldtour #sdgimpactstories #Act4SDGs
