| dc.description | This report delves into the potential of renewable energy interventions within the agrifood value chains of Zambia, with a specific focus on cereals, dairy, horticulture, tobacco, fisheries, and roots and tubers. It furthermore aims to evaluate the feasibility of various renewable energy interventions, such as solar irrigation, solar drying, solar milling, solar freezing, and e-mobility. The evaluation encompasses the technical, economic, and environmental aspects, with the objective to quantify their impacts on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, capital investment, and productivity.The findings of the report emphasize the positive impact of renewable energy interventions on the agrifood sector in Zambia, while illustrating the benefits, such as reduced GHG emissions, improved energy access and security, enhanced food quality and safety, as well as increased income and employment opportunities. In addition, the report underscores the significance of a comprehensive and integrated approach to facilitate the adoption and scaling up of renewable energy interventions. The detailed analysis of energy use and demand within the selected agrifood value chains, coupled with the proposed renewable energy interventions, stresses the potential to enhance sustainability and efficiency across these sectors. Moreover, the report's focus on a household energy survey conducted in the Meheba refugee camp puts an emphasis on a holistic understanding of the energy needs and preferences of the refugee settlement. | |
