House launches solar irrigation for Central Luzon farmers

House officials launched a solar-powered irrigation project in Central Luzon to aid farmers, aiming to improve water access for agriculture. The project, overseen by House Speaker Romualdez and others, will provide solar-powered pumps to farmlands, reducing reliance on rain and diesel fuel costs for farmers in the region. Additional projects were launched in several provinces, utilizing AI-driven technology from Israel. This initiative is part of a broader effort to boost rice production and food security, with the goal of covering 180,000 hectares nationwide and increasing annual rice production. Farmers anticipate significant savings and improved yields.
