Abstract
This document is a learning brief for the Renewable Energy for Agriculture (RE4A) project which ran from May 2021 to June 2023 in partnership with Modern Farming Technologies (MFT), a Malawian social enterprise. The project tested a contract farming model that enabled access for women farmers to productive use energy (PUE) technologies (solar irrigation kits and solar refrigerators), improved horticulture, and markets. It was funded by GIZ and the Powering Renewable Energy Opportunities (PREO) Fund, which is supported by the IKEA Foundation and UK Aid.
