Sub -Saharan Africa has long been beset with food insecurity. Agriculture in the region is predominantly rainfed, which makes the sector highly vulnerable to climate variability. Irrigation is considered as a promising option to boost agricultural production and enhance agricultural resilience. At the same time, Sub-Saharan African countries also suffer from energy poverty. Lack of access to energy services limits the expansion of irrigated agriculture. A joint irrigation-energy planning framework is developed to estimate how much of the economic potential irrigated area could be powered with standalone solar photovoltaic (PV) energy. The modeling framework first compares the costs of motorized irrigation technology under solar and alternative energy solutions (e.g. diesel). The information generated from the comparative analysis informs power source selection in a model that simulates future pathways of irrigation expansion subject to water availability and market opportunities for irrigated crops. We present the joint irrigation-energy planning framework and a first set of results focusing on groundwater-fed irrigation in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Soil degradation poses a serious threat to food production and rural livelihoods in sub-Saharan Africa1. Nutrient mining ,as a result of unsustainable farming practices, have left the soils unfertile (Fig.1). Green Manure Cover Crops (GMCC’s) are a promising intervention to improve soil health2.Benefits from GMCC’s are well known; however, there has been low uptake. Information on how GMCC technologies impact on profits, soil health ,and ecosystem services had not been thoroughly assessed3. Therefore, a Cropping System Sustainability Tool (CROSST) was developed to better understand agro-environmental and socio-economic impacts and trade-offs of GMCC integration in cropping systems. The tool was pilot tested in Benin and Kenya under the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ)/Deutsche GesellschaftfürInternationaleZusammenarbeit(GIZ) program on ‘Soil Protection and Rehabilitation for Food Security.’
