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.
