Promoting Dry-Season Groundnut Production with the use of Cost-Effective and Energy-Efficient Solar Pumps in Ghana
In Northern Ghana, about 80% of the population are farmers who primarily rely on rainfall to irrigate their fields. Unfortunately, the region's rainfall only lasts for five to six months, rendering a large number of farmers unable to cultivate their land for the following six to seven months. In the midst of this challenge, and with most farmers changing their careers or seeking short-term work elsewhere, a few farmers continue to grow food through dry-season gardening.
