The Role of Renewable Energy in Transforming the Food System
The food system, encompassing agriculture, food production, manufacturing, and supply chains, is a major consumer of energy and a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Transitioning to renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, and biofuels is critical to building a sustainable and resilient food ecosystem. From powering irrigation and food processing to reducing carbon footprints in transportation and cold storage, renewables can drive efficiency, lower costs, and minimize environmental impact. By integrating renewable energy at every stage, we can ensure energy security, combat climate change, and support global food sustainability goals.
This talk will explore innovative solutions and best practices to align renewable energy adoption with the evolving needs of the food system.
