Solar-Powered Drip Irrigation and Water-Use Efficiency on Smallholder Farms
Quick fact
By combining solar pumps with drip systems, smallholder farmers can cut water use by 30-50% while increasing yields by 20-50%, compared to traditional flood irrigation.
Why this is interesting
Imagine watering your crops with sunshine itself while using half the water. That's the promise of solar-powered drip irrigation for smallholder farmers.
