The <\/em>E4C Fellowships<\/em><\/a>, sponsored by Engineering for Change, empower early-career engineers and other technical professionals worldwide to work on local and global sustainable development challenges while building professional skills and relationships. The <\/em>Autodesk Foundation<\/em><\/a> supports up to 30 E4C Fellows, who will commit five months to working for portfolio organizations on Design for Good, Advancing Workflows, and Impact Research projects. E4C Fellows work remotely with flexible schedules during both <\/em>summer and winter<\/em><\/a> cohorts. This story is part of an ongoing series profiling several Autodesk Foundation-supported E4C Fellows. <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kheyti’s low-cost Greenhouse-in-a-Box kit helps small-scale farmers earn a reliable year-round income using much less water.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Eight out of 10 farmers in the world are smallholders<\/a> and are disproportionately affected by the effects of climate change on harvests, according to Kheyti,<\/a> a social enterprise in India and a member of the Autodesk Foundation<\/a>\u2019s Health & Resilience portfolio. Kheyti designs low-cost farming solutions and supports smallholder farmers in creating climate-resilient incomes.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its Greenhouse-in-a-Box kit includes seeds, fertilizer, and a drip irrigation system, as well as full-stack services such as installation and training\u2014all at half the cost of a regular greenhouse, according to Kheyti. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For helping smallholder Indian farmers grow a larger and more reliable yield while using less water and developing a year-round, climate-resilient income with its Greenhouse-in-a-Box, Kheyti recently won a 2022 Earthshot Prize<\/a> in the Protect and Restore Nature category. Kheyti CEO and co-founder Kaushik Kappagantulu said that the Earthshot Prize will support their effort to scale up their impact from helping 1,500 farmers today to a million farmers in 10 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such goals also aligned Kheyti with the Engineering for Change<\/a> E4C Fellowship program, which it has participated in for two years running. During the 2021 E4C Summer Fellowship, Kheyti conducted research into farmers\u2019 pain points when using the Greenhouse-in-a-Box. Then Kheyti and its consultants and partners collaborated in a single cloud-synced environment using Autodesk Fusion 360<\/a>, allowing them to brainstorm, design, and test iterations on the product that led to reducing cost by 10% and installation time by 50%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kheyti\u2019s 2022 E4C Summer Fellowship with 2022 E4C Fellow Ma\u00ebl Sonna Donko\u2014a structural engineer from Cameroon\u2014continued the momentum with research into alternative materials and other ways to reduce the cost of the greenhouse\u2019s foundation processes and the cost and time to install them.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

New greenhouse dimensions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a doctoral researcher in structural engineering at LGCGM<\/a> in France, who has developed some structural analysis and design calculation tools, as well as mentored youths in STEM fields, Ma\u00ebl was inspired by the opportunity to contribute to designing Kheyti\u2019s affordable greenhouse structures for farmers.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy passion for research and sustainable development combined with structural engineering skills drive my interest in building and advocating for eco-friendly and cheap but revolutionary structures,\u201d he says.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kheyti had been working with more than 1,000 smallholder farmers in six Indian states but wanted to expand its reach to 50,000 Indian farmers by 2027. To do that, it would have to address the desires of some farmers to experiment with larger greenhouses for expanded operations, as well as others\u2019 needs for smaller greenhouses to be used for nursery purposes.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ma\u00ebl\u2019s goal was to verify the safety of Kheyti\u2019s conventional greenhouse structure and find the best dimensions and materials through design and optimization for both the reduced- and expanded-size greenhouse\u2019s pipes, wires, and foundations. The Cameroonian engineer was versed in European standards for technical specifications in materials and experimental testing, so he had to overcome the challenge of working with the differing standards of India. But Ma\u00ebl says \u201cit was just a matter of time to cope with that.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Better farming through software modeling <\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Partly due to the E4C Fellowships, Kheyti has reduced the installation time for its Greenhouse-in-a-Box by producing technical training and an installation manual. But for the larger iterations of the greenhouse that Ma\u00ebl was working to improve, the team simplified installation further by making its components modular. To design, optimize, and structurally validate those modular components, Ma\u00ebl and his colleagues relied on Autodesk Revit<\/a>, Robot Structural Analysis<\/a>, and Fusion 360. \u201cThe software permitted us to investigate the structural fitness of the ideated modular versions of the greenhouse, yielding excellent safety factors.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After working on architectural modeling and structural model generation in Revit, they exported projects to Robot Structural Analysis to perform structural global analysis, design, and optimization. Those results were loaded back into Revit to generate an optimized bill of materials, which helped to reduce cost. Finally, Fusion 360 followed up Robot\u2019s global analysis with a state-of-the-art local analysis of the critical steel-to-concrete joint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ma\u00ebl says he appreciated having a suite of software products all meant to work together with seamless operation. \u201cInteroperability, ease of use, and the holistic nature of the software have been great assets to the efficient and timely execution of the project,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By opting for modular greenhouse components, and by refining the software-optimized geometries and materials for those components\u2014such as improved anchors and foundations\u2014Kheyti achieved its reductions in greenhouse installation time and cost. Ma\u00ebl says they further reduced the cost by streamlining the supply chain. All of the above improvements will be crucial as Kheyti scales operations across India, responding to diverse farmer needs and weather conditions in different regions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Ma\u00ebl\u2019s time with Kheyti on the E4C Fellowship is over, he\u2019s continuing to pursue a PhD in Structural Engineering in France, experimenting with and analyzing steel concrete joints with complex load demands. He says Kheyti\u2019s main next step for developing the Greenhouse-in-a-Box will be to perform a parametric optimization of the pipes\u2019 cross-section geometry and dimensions.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
