Life is easier now for Abu Taleb, 45, a potato farmer of Saddyo Puskuruni village in Rangpur.
A year ago, high irrigation costs for diesel-run pumps, which he bore out-of-pocket, made it difficult for him to provide for his three children.
Now, after switching to solar-powered irrigation, his livelihood has changed for the better. “I can now afford new clothes and nutritious food for my family,” he said.
