Irrigation innovation - see the video
An E-Team at Colorado State University is working to reduce rural poverty by providing small farmers with clean, affordable irrigation solutions.
The Small Engines for Economic Development team is developing a one-horsepower biodiesel (or straight vegetable oil) engine that meets the water pumping and electricity generation needs of the small and marginal farmers in the developing world, increasing their productivity and their income.
