Farmers rely on diesel and gas generators for irrigation, pumping, and cooling — exposing them to volatile fuel prices, high operating costs, and significant CO₂ emissions.
The region is among the most water-scarce in the world, with agriculture consuming over 70% of available freshwater. Inefficient irrigation powered by fossil fuels compounds the challenge.
Increasing demand for agricultural output collides with resource scarcity, making rural electrification and sustainable farming urgent policy priorities.
