A concurrence of political, environmental, and economic factors have led to an uncertain picture of how exactly the UK will meet its increasingly complicated and growing energy demand over the next few months. At Scene, we think that a combination of these will be needed to future-proof and decarbonise the UK’s energy system.

For almost every business and organisation across the globe, working habits have undergone a radical shift over the past 18 months. This blog post represents an opportunity for Scene to take stock of this change, and to reflect on the lessons provided to the company throughout this recent period largely defined by uncertainty. The piece also serves as a canvas for Scene’s future development - what are the social, environmental, and commercial needs that the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed, and how will Scene continue to deliver its environmental and social impacts in a post-COVID world?

Since June 2019, Scene has partnered with three organisations, Farm-Hand, Futurepump, and GADC, to design and deliver REFRUIT– Resource Efficient Farming by Renewable Ugandan Irrigation Technology. Funded through the UK Government’s Innovate UK department for research and innovation, this 18-month agri-tech project sought to address the barriers to irrigation uptake for smallholder farmers in Northern Uganda. Concluding in December 2020, this blog post intends to review the project’s journey, discuss the key outcomes and challenges, and reflect on next steps to take the project to the next level.
On Thursday 19th November 2020, Scene Connect hosted an online half-day video conferencing event to explore strategies for improving irrigation for small-scale farmers in East Africa. The event was attended by 40 practitioners from a broad range of sectors related to agriculture, including smart irrigation technology manufacturers, financing organisations, charities, and university research programmes.
