This innovative system has significantly reduced water consumption by 60% to 70%, based on plant types. The integration of solar power has also helped overcome electricity shortages required for pumping and irrigation distribution.

Ainda provided services to farmers, benefiting over 7,500 smallholder farmers and end-users employ Ainda’s energy and water-efficient innovations.
