What backs it

Farmers in Ethiopia are reducing growing costs, increasing food production, and cutting emissions by adopting solar-powered irrigation systems through the Nature-based Solutions for Sustainable and Inclusive Development program led by Farm Africa. The systems address vulnerability to drought and rising fuel prices while harnessing Ethiopia's abundant sunshine.

Worth noting

This is a pilot program; scale and long-term sustainability remain to be measured.
