Prof. Arogo with 5th Years during his visit at Egerton University

In their fifth year, students are concluding their projects focused on enhancing agricultural sustainability in various domains such as irrigation, machinery, green energy, and processing. One group has developed a solar-powered incubator, leveraging Kenya's abundant solar energy to hatch eggs, thereby boosting farmers' income and enhancing food security. Another team has been dedicated to modifying the shelling unit of a motorized groundnut sheller to enhance efficiency and minimize mechanical damage. Additionally, a Savonius wind turbine has been designed to utilize green energy for pumping water, contributing to climate change adaptation in irrigation. Lastly, a solar-powered ice maker project aims to refine ice harvesting techniques for existing ice makers, facilitating the preservation of fish and perishable farm products and, consequently, reducing post-harvest losses on farms
