Farmers doubling their crop yields with solar-powered tractor - BBC Africa

Описание: In Malawi around 80% of the population is involved in farming but the country often finds it hard to feed itself.

An innovative farming method called Deep Bed Farming is now transforming lives in the country. With the help of a solar-powered tractor, farmers are digging deeper into the soil and improving water and air penetration.

This has more than doubled their yields - moving them closer to food security.

Climate change has contributed to famines and cyclones in recent years. But a new method has been helping farmers to dramatically improve their yields.
