Project organisation
The Smallholders Foundation, supported by GIZ ‘Sustainable Energy for Food – Powering Agriculture.
Project description
To create awareness about the benefits of post harvest management of perishable food and use of PV operated cold storage system and thus, create demand for it amongst smallholder farmers in Nigeria.
