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 blue.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 blue.svg Value 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.

EnergyEfficiency blue.svg Energy Efficiency

The world’s first fuel is energy efficiency, key to protect natural resources and the climate. Identifying and solving efficiency gaps is crucial for sustainable development.

PoliciesRegulations blue.svg Policies and Regulations

The adoption of clean energy solutions can improve considerably when governmental action and regulations provide clear incentives and complement market development.
