This book was released on 2017-08-02 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The agri-food chain consumes about one third of the world’s energy production with about 12% of it for crop production and nearly 80% for processing, distribution, retail, preparation and cooking. The agri-food chain also accounts for 80-90% of total global freshwater use where 70% alone is for irrigation. Additionally, on a global scale, freshwater production consumes nearly 15% of the entire energy production. It can therefore be argued that making agriculture and the agri-food supply chain independent from fossil fuel use has a huge potential to contribute to global food security and climate protection not only for the next decades but also for the coming century. Provision of secure, accessible and environmentally sustainable supplies of water, energy and food must thus be a priority. One of the major objectives of the world’s scientists, farmers, decisions makers and industrialists is to overcome the present dependence on fossil fuels in the agro-food sector. This dependency increases the volatility of food prices and affects economic access to sustenance. This book provides a critical review of recent developments in solar, wind and geothermal energy applications in agriculture and the agro-food sector such as processing, distribution, retail, preparation and cooking.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Agriculture and agro-industry are important sectors in the economies of most developing countries, where they provide the main source of livelihoods for the majority of the poor. The lack of a sustainable supply of affordable energy is a major constraint to the development of these sectors in developing countries. Traditionally, geothermal energy has been utilized mainly to generate electricity; however, it can be harnessed for other important uses in agriculture and agro-industry. Developing countries endowed with this renewable energy source have ample potential to use it in advancing their agriculture and agro-industry sectors. This book reviews the use of geothermal energy in agriculture and agro-industry around the world. With a simple format and copious illustrations and models, the book is accessible to a wide range of interested readers, including those with no technical background. It shows that geothermal resources have the potential to provide long-term, secure energy for the agriculture and food industry in both developed and developing countries. Constraints and challenges that should be addressed before this potential can be fully achieved are also discussed."--Publisher's description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the principle goal to emphasize the development and promotion of new and renewable energy sources, adapted to the socio economic needs of rural population in developing countries. European Cooperative Network on Rural Energy (CNRE) paid particular atention to the so called "thermal effluents" use in agriculture. To find how much the development and use of such energy sources are interesting for developing countries, one Technical Consultation and two Workshops were organized. Very interesting scientific papers and practical experiences presented at the meetings, justified establishment of two working groups (or Networks) to cover the problematics: Industrial Thermal Effluments Use in Agriculture and Geothermal Energy Use in Agriculture, coordinated by Prof. Dr. L.A. Aires Barros and leaded by the Networks Chairmen Dr. T. O'Flaherty and Dr. K. Popovski, respectively. Even the economical conditions are not so positive, as they were during the times until 1982, the results of first three years of collaboration in the frame of Networks are justifying the statement that these two groups of energy and promising between all other alternative energy sources. That is particularly the case with Geothermal Energy Use in Agriculture Network, in which the initial membership arised from initial 14 to over 70 in three years, only. A bulk of informations and experiences about geothermal energy resources and technologies of use in agriculture are already collected. Very much of them are of local, but some are of general interest for participating countries. The task of the Network activity in near future shall be to make them useful there, where are necessary. New edition of the FAO Regional office for Europe "Rural Energy Country Review" is enabling the presentation of summaries of informations about geothermal energy resources, present status of application, characteristics of used technologies, positive and negative experiences and prospectives for improving geothermal energy use in agriculture. Wider circulation of informations is enabling to spread reached "know-how" of different countries, but also to find good possibilities for application of own one. Presentation of present status and prospectives of geothermal energy use in agriculture in Turkey is choosen because of two reasons: It is recognized that between all European countries Turkey has probably the most promising geothermal energy potential in good correlation with the needs of agriculture; and it is the hosting country of the Joint Workshop of Geothermal Energy Use in Agriculture and Solar Heating of Greenhouses Networks, from 11th to 14th of April 1988, just after the edition of the first number of Rural Energy Country Review.
