Nigeria's NALDA Pilots Climate-Smart Farms Using Electric and Solar Power
What happened
The National Agricultural Land Development Authority is developing climate-smart farm estates in Nigeria that utilize solar energy and electric machinery. The agency announced this plan at the 2026 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Antalya, Türkiye. The pilot locations will use electric bulldozers, electric tractors, and solar-powered irrigation systems to reduce emissions and decrease reliance on rainfall.
