Solar solutions push to reduce post-harvest losses in farming

The need for sustainable alternatives is particularly high as farmers in many regions struggle with unreliable grid access and rising operational costs.

Solar-powered storage and irrigation systems can help address these issues by providing consistent, affordable power, especially in remote areas.

Experts say adopting renewable energy solutions could transform agriculture by cutting reliance on conventional power sources.

The shift, they not, can also reduce food spoilage, as inadequate storage often leads to crop losses, which, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), affect nearly one-third of all food produced globally.

Ecozen, a climate-smart technology provider, is at the forefront of promoting solar-powered solutions for farming communities.
