Considering a supply chain consisting of on-farm post harvest operations, storage, transportation, processing & packaging and wholesale and retail, where can the highest losses be expected in Sub Saharan Africa? Transportation Storage On farm post-harvest operations 3 Which of the following sustainable approaches can be adopted by farmers on site and in further steps of the supply chain to minimize post harvest food loss? Solar Milling Solar Cooling Solar Drying All of them and more Solar powered Ice Production 4 What is your best guess on how many people in Sub Saharan Africa currently have access to electricity and how the estimation for 2030 looks like? From 50% to 60% From 65% to 70% From 80% to 85% 5 Unfortunately, an access to power does not always result in a steady supply. How many countries in Africa do you think experience an average of 10 or more electrical outages per month? 11 17 5 6 Limited access to the power grid combined with its low reliability puts various food supply chains at risk. This makes solar-based approaches particularly interesting. Which of the following solar-based Innovations can be a game changer for more resilient food systems? Solar powered Ice Production Solar Milling Solar Pumping Solar Cooling All of them and more Solar Irrigation 7 The Agenda 2030 demands an affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern access to Energy for everybody by the end of the current decade. One way to approach that target is to improve the grid. However, this is a costly undertaking. What’s your best guess on what share of the required investment is actually being invested in Sub Saharan Africa? 25% 15% 55% 8 Another way to approach that target is to establish a decentralized power infrastructure. Consequently, photovoltaic modules and their affordability are of high interest. What’s your best guess on how much the price of PV modules decreased globally between 2009 and 2015? 60% 45% 80% 9 Considering the insufficient investments in the accessibility of electricity and the strong cost decrease of PV modules, solar based innovations gain attractiveness. Nevertheless, these need to be financed. Which of the following innovative approaches are promising? Pay-Go models for solar products Microfinance for woman All of them and more … Digital Financing Asset Funding Pay-As-You Chill for cold rooms
