Supporting the Productive Use of Energy (PUE) in agricultural value chains to increase productivity and value-addition can be one of the most relevant means to improve smallholder farmers livelihoods and increase their resilience to climate change while contributing to GHG emissions reduction.
The "Sustainable Energy for Smallholder Farmers (SEFFA)" project focuses on solar technologies and services for irrigation, cooling and drying for smallholder farmers in dairy and horticultural value chains to achieve increased productivity, improved nutritional outcomes, higher incomes, and improved climate-resilience and food security.
The business models follow a holistic approach. Beneficiaries are expected to improve their nutrition situation, increase their resilience to climate change and contribute to greenhouse gas emission reduction, for instance by using solar irrigation for the production of fruits and vegetables, and solar drying and cooling in post harvesting processes.
