Clean power could be game-changing for millions of small-scale farmers in low-income countries. Access to it can bring everything from irrigation that boosts crop yields, to cold storage that stops fruit and vegetables rotting in the fields. But in villages most threatened by the climate crisis, reliable and affordable energy is limited or non-existent.  

The Ashden Award for Energising Agriculture will reward trailblazers helping off-grid communities grow, store and process their crops. This award is open to entrepreneurs and innovators seeking agriculture funding for accessible solutions that raise incomes, improve nutrition and create resilience in the face of rising temperatures and extreme weather.
