Solar irrigation for Agriculture Resilience (SoLAR)

01.08.2018 - 31.05.2025

Farmers increasingly rely on irrigation to counter rising temperature and rainfall variability, leading to growth in energy demand and depletion of groundwater resources. The project aims to promote solar irrigation as a water-energy solution for climate-resilient and socially inclusive agrarian livelihoods in South Asia. Swiss innovation in groundwater monitoring through electricity use, efficient solar pumps and smart micro grids will be applied in the partner countries.

01.08.2018 - 31.12.2021

This will contribute to reduced use of antibiotics, better health and less antimicrobial resistance.
