Preventing food waste through solar powered fridges, with Luke Davey from Inspira Farms

One of the recurring themes throughout conversations with agriculture companies is the problems with post harvest loss

If produce can’t be kept cold then it will perish quicker and as a result farmers lose out on income

Cold storage (essentially a big fridge) offers the solution, but in an environment with inconsistent power supply, and poor access to capital, this has proved difficult.

In this episode Luke and I talk about how Inspira Farms are using technology to solve this problem.

We discuss how the technology they’ve developed is innovating the market, the compelling financial arrangement they are able to offer farmers and how selling in Kenya is different to doing so in Rwanda

I found this a really interesting conversation to cover the landscape of agriculture in East Africa, and so I hope you enjoy it too.
