Tune in for this month's episode of 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 (IFAD).
This episode, “Racking up renewables in Africa”, is all about energy.
With dwindling fossil fuels and uneven access to energy in Africa, people are turning to renewable energy to power their lives.
Renewable energy specialist Dan Martin tells us how it works and how IFAD incorporates these technologies into its projects.
We explore the private sector’s role in the renewable energy industry. Finally, a farmer details the reality of renewable energies on the ground.
Continuing with the theme of nutrition, we talk with Dr. Roba about food security and nutrition in East Africa.
Two agribusiness hub experts, Kees and Sam, explain how these hubs are equipping young people with the business and technical skills to thrive in the green agriculture sector.
We also have an update on one of our projects on the frontline of the climate crisis in the Solomon Islands.
You can listen to our podcast via any of your favourite podcast platforms or go to www.ifad.org/podcasts.
