Do you love chocolate? If you do, you'll be glad to know that Futurepump's low-cost, reliable solar irrigation pumps are helping farmers in Ghana to grow more cocoa. This is good news for them, too, since these pumps mean they're less reliant on unpredictable weather, and less impacted by drought.

SimGas were big winners at ASME’s 2018 Innovation Showcase! They'll use their $10,000 prize to pilot their biogas milk chiller with a group of 20 Kenyan farmers. They hope to learn more about their payment model, and to further investigate the farmer to processor cooling chain.
