| contents | <p>Solar-powered irrigation systems are increasingly being introduced in semi-arid regions to enhance agricultural productivity and sustainability. A mixed-methods approach combining economic modelling and qualitative interviews was employed to assess system viability and farmer acceptance. The average net profit per hectare over three years is estimated at $250, with significant variability across different regions of Chad. Despite initial skepticism, solar-powered irrigation systems are being widely adopted by farmers in Chad due to their reliability and cost-effectiveness. Government subsidies should be provided for the installation of solar-powered irrigation systems to promote wider adoption.</p> |
