People are so resourceful when given tools for #development. This farm in rural #Kenya is enabled by #solarenergy which pumps water uphill for irrigation. The farm provides local employment, supplying veg to local supermarkets and agricultural plants to locals. @RAEngGlobal

I presented the outcomes of our foresight work on @DesiraH2020 project at our Final Conference today - our vision for a rural digital future
Before our coffee break ☕ @leanne_research from the DESIRA Scottish LL🏴 envisioned both positive & pessimistic scenarios of future rural digitalisation: empowered & sustainable rural futures VS "digital clearances" just as happened in previous periods of major changes.
