Aden Barrow,45,lives in Garissa,a town in Kenya's northeastern region.His household uses renewable energy for all daily electricity needs,including powering their home and irrigating crops on the 1.2-hectare farm."Solar-powered irrigation helps me produce larger quantities of crops such as tomatoes,bananas,mangoes and kale,which I then sell to nearby supermarkets and hotels.Although I am connected to the national grid,I also generate biogas from animal waste,mostly from cows and pigs,"Barrow said,adding that customers are drawn to his produce,which is grown using clean energy,as they are becoming more conscious of environmental protection.
