Ten young Ghanaian agritech innovators are showcasing their newly improved, efficient, and clean energy-powered agritech as part of the United Nations University (UNU) - Institute of Natural Resources in Africa (INRA) Innovate for Clean Agricultural Technologies project.
In a press release by UNU-INRA in Accra, it said the project will also expand access to clean energy agritech solutions and reduce drudgery in smallholder farmer communities in Ghana, Senegal, and Côte d'Ivoire, especially for women.
In July, some clean agritech solutions were also piloted in Senegal: Bambèye (Diourbel region), Toubacouta (Fatick region), Taiba Niassène (Kaolack region), and Gapakh (Kaolack region).
The INFoCAT innovators in Côte d'Ivoire will be piloting their clean agritech innovations in the coming months.
It is an initiative funded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) under the Clean Energy for Development program.
