From Farm to Market: Reflections on Powering Agriculture with Ashenafi Mulugeta
Agriculture is central to livelihoods and food security across Ethiopia and Uganda — yet much of its potential remains underpowered. Low energy access continues to limit production, processing, storage, and market connectivity. In this episode, we sit down with Ashenafi Mulugeta to discuss how DRE is unlocking new opportunities for farmers—boosting yields, reducing losses, and enabling value-added activities that strengthen rural livelihoods. Drawing on new research and firsthand experience, the conversation explores what it will take to scale these solutions, including the policies, financing models, and partnerships needed to move from pilot projects to widespread impact.
