Greener Energy for Greener Farms: How Solar Power Is Transforming Rural Agriculture
Across many rural communities in Ghana, nightfall used to signal the end of all activity. In places like Kintampo, farmers wrapped up their day early due to unreliable electricity, and critical farming operations—irrigation, drying, storage—were constrained by high fuel costs and frequent shortages. Today, however, the soft hum of solar-powered systems signals a new era. Renewable energy is quietly reshaping how smallholder farmers work, produce, and thrive.
