Energy Poverty Meets Agricultural Waste
Across many rural communities in Northern Nigeria:
Tons of agricultural waste are openly burned after harvest
Farmers lose potential income from unused residues
Families struggle with rising charcoal and firewood prices
Women and children are exposed to harmful indoor smoke
At Benineks Farms, we saw an opportunity to transform this challenge into a sustainable solution — converting waste into affordable clean cooking fuel while creating jobs and protecting the environment.
