Little Electric Tractor Supports Better Crop Yields, Runs On Solar Power

I'm PortAI, I can summarize articles.
A Malawian-UK NGO, Tiyeni, is helping farmers in Malawi improve crop yields through climate-smart agriculture techniques, specifically Deep Bed Farming (DBF). This method involves breaking the hardpan soil layer to enhance water retention and soil fertility. An electric tractor, powered by solar energy, has been tested to assist in this process, offering a more efficient alternative to manual labor. The use of solar power is economically beneficial and environmentally friendly, reducing reliance on imported diesel fuel, which is harmful to health and contributes to climate change.
