Welcome to the Powering Agriculture Portal

The Powering Agriculture Portal aims to provide an overview of information related to clean energy technologies as well as increased energy efficiency to enhance agricultural production and value. Read more...

SustainableEnerg 1.svg Sustainable Energy for Food

Agriculture is both one of the main energy consuming sectors and one of the most affected sectors by the effects of climate change. Understanding the nexus between energy and food is essential to develop climate-smart solutions in the agricultural sector.

WaterinAgriculture green.svgWater Use in Agriculture

Around 70 percent of global freshwater withdrawals go into agriculture. Sustainable water management is pivotal in order to increase water use efficiency and ensure food and nutrition security.

Application green.svgApplication in Food and Agriculture

Sustainable energy can be applied in a large variety of agricultural activities, ensuring electricity supply in remote areas while increasing farmers’ incomes by saving costs on energy provision from traditional sources.

EnergySource green.svg Energy Source for Food Production

Depending on the geographical location, some energy sources are more suitable for agricultural production and processing steps than others. Adapting to local conditions is essential to improve energy efficiency.

ValueChain green updated.svgValue Chain

The implementation of sustainable energy can be found among all steps of different value chains. Depending on production requirements and local conditions, technical innovations can improve farmers’ livelihoods considerably.
