Burkina Faso: A remote irrigation system to reduce the drudgery of farm work

2024-09-03 8

In Burkina Faso, many farmers find it difficult to water their crops during the dry season. Aware of this problem, Ouedi Ernest ASSO had the idea of setting up a solution to help producers have water for their crops throughout the year.

In 2014, he set up "Solafrique", a company specialising in renewable energy. The company markets solar-powered pumping and irrigation systems that can be controlled remotely.

Ouedi Ernest ASSO dreams of seeing his solution spread among all African farmers, particularly those in Burkina Faso.
