Let's talk about... #SDG7☀️Yes, we really love solar energy, and so should you. Our Smart Agri Centres are powered entirely by clean solar energy, meaning that the rural communities that we work with are able to gain access to a safe, reliable and affordable source of electricity. Even better, this energy is then used to increase the productivity of small-holders farmers, through powering agricultural services- such as cold storage, milling and welding.
