Racking up Renewables in Africa
Manage episode 339400833 series 2575689
This month we’re focusing on renewable energy. Fossil fuels are dwindling and access to energy is already a scarcity in Africa. Now, people are turning to renewable energy technology. We’ll first talk with energy specialist Dan Martin to learn about these technologies and how IFAD incorporates them into their projects. We also talk to a farmer to learn more about the reality of renewable energies on the ground.
This episode also continues to look at nutrition. We talk with Dr. Roba about food security and nutrition, this time in Kenya. Also in this episode we hear from two more agribusiness hub experts about how these hubs are equipping young people with the business and technical skills necessary for the green agriculture sector. And we also get an update on one of our projects on the frontline of the climate crises in the Solomon Islands.
This is Farms. Food. Future. – a podcast that’s Good for You, Good for the Planet and Good for Farmers brought to you by the International Fund for Agricultural Development.
