International Solar Alliance & United Nations Launch Solar Agriculture Irrigation Program
PublishedSolar plus agriculture has been one of my kicks lately. It’s a combo made in heaven, and we should see much more of it in the coming decade. I recently conducted a whole podcast on the topic that, if you haven’t listened to it yet, I highly recommend:International Solar Alliance and the United Nations Development Programme have launched a program focused on solar agriculture irrigation.
“With the United Nations Development Programme, the intergovernmental association has raised 1.8 million euros to deploy pilot projects integrating solar pumps and associated qualifying technical training in 10 countries in Africa and Oceania,”The program is called the “Scaling Solar Applications for Agriculture Use” program.
This is a two-year program, for now. ISA and USDA want to help the participating countries “to design and implement large-scale projects and programs aimed at integrating solar pumping technology into agricultural practices.”
