Welcome to the Powering Agriculture Portal

Many farmers and agribusinesses in developing countries lack access to reliable, affordable, and clean energy services. This limits their ability to adopt modern agricultural practices, increase food production, improve efficiency of their operations, and benefit from broad-based, low-carbon economic growth.
Thus, the powering agriculture portal aims to provide an overview of the information related to clean energy technologies as well as increased energy efficiency to enhance agricultural production and value.
