Teaser

Renewable energy solutions have the potential to transform agrifood systems across the entire value chain, from production and processing to transport, storage and waste management. By expanding access to reliable energy, smallholder farmers and agricultural SMEs can boost productivity, lower operating costs, strengthen food security, and build climate resilience. Recent energy crises further underscore the urgency of accelerating the transition towards renewable and more efficient energy solutions in agrifood systems.

This session brings together experts from both sectors to explore opportunities at the intersection of agrifood and energy, including but not limited to small-scale off-grid solar solutions for productive energy use (PURE). Join us to find out how cross-sector collaboration, tailored financing and technical innovation can create greater impact across the agrifood-energy nexus.
