Solar-powered cold-storages and sustainable food system transformation: Evidence from horticulture markets interventions in northeast Nigeria
Modern cooling technologies that utilize renewable energy sources have been increasingly recognized as a promising tool to address a multitude of challenges emerging in progressively complex food systems in developing countries.
This survey was conducted to collect baseline data for a randomized control trial preceding the introduction of improved energy cookstoves in the Dedza District in the Central Region of Malawi.
This survey was conducted to collect endline data for a randomized control trial study. The endline survey was conducted two years after the introduction of improved energy cookstoves in the Dedza District in the Central Region of Malawi.
This survey was conducted to collect endline data for a randomized control trial, two years after the introduction of the improved cookstoves in the Angonia District of Mozambique.
This survey was conducted to collect baseline data for a randomized control trial preceding the introduction of improved energy cookstoves in the Angonia district in Mozambique.
This data set contains GIS source data files showing breakeven installed costs for solar PV system (unit: US$/Wp) over Africa South of Sahara calculated in a study that compares the economic cost of groundwater pumping for irrigation powered by so
The countries sharing the Niger River suffer from poor access to clean water and energy as well as food insecurity.
Solar or diesel: A comparison of costs for groundwater‐fed irrigation in Sub‐Saharan Africa under two energy solutions
Sub‐Saharan Africa has long been beset with food insecurity and energy poverty. Expanding irrigated agriculture can help boost food production in the region, but this requires energy for accessing water, especially in groundwater‐fed irrigation.
Investments in energy are urgently needed in Sub-Saharan Africa. Such investments can unlock access to water resources, increase food security, accelerate rural employment, and increase income.
Estimation and determinants of multidimensional energy poverty among households in Nigeria
The sustainable use of clean and safe sources of energy is indeed a global challenge. Traditional and unsafe forms of energy use is predominant among households in sub-Saharan Africa.
The ever-increasing demand for water, food, and energy is putting unsustainable pressure on natural resources worldwide, often leading to environmental degradation that, in turn, affect water, food, and energy security.
This report examines six agricultural production and processing opportunities for rural areas: horticulture irrigation, grain milling, injera baking, milk cooling, bread baking, and coffee washing.
For decades cheaper and easily available fossil fuels have underpinned the energy system of South Africa and inhibited the potential for achieving a sustainable low carbon economy.
Last mile energy access for productive energy use in agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa: What and where is the potential?
Sub -Saharan Africa has long been beset with food insecurity. Agriculture in the region is predominantly rainfed, which makes the sector highly vulnerable to climate variability.
Energized: Policy innovation to power the transformation of Africa’s agriculture and food system
"Energized: Policy innovations to power the transformation of Africa’s agriculture and food system" – new report by the Malabo Montpellier Panel highlights the promising energy-related strategies, policies and technologies emerging across Africa's
This introductory paper sets out the rationale for revisiting questions surrounding biofuel futures in Southern Africa and exploring the case for the establishment of a regional market.
Energy and nutrient production in Ethiopia, 2011-2015: Implications to supporting healthy diets and food systems
Agricultural sector plays a key role towards achieving healthier diets that are deemed critical for improving health and nutritional outcomes. To what extent the current food supply systems support healthy diets remains unknown.
Projections show energy subsidy cuts may hamper economic growth in the short term, but will improve growth and household welfare in the longer term with support from appropriate policies and social protections.
