| contents | <p>Solar-powered irrigation systems have been introduced to smallholder farmers in Niger as a means of improving agricultural productivity and water management. A comparative approach is used, involving field surveys and interviews with farmers from three distinct regions. Data on system functionality and farmer satisfaction are collected and analysed. The analysis reveals that systems installed in the southern region had a higher success rate (85%) compared to those in northern regions (70%), highlighting regional variations in effectiveness. Solar-powered irrigation systems show promise for enhancing agricultural productivity among smallholder farmers, though implementation challenges persist. Further research should focus on developing cost-effective solar panels and addressing maintenance issues to maximise system longevity and farmer satisfaction.</p> |
