Decarbonizing Agriculture: Renewable Energy and the Sustainable Future of Food

Distributed Renewable Energy (DRE) is emerging as a pivotal solution for agriculture, guaranteeing stable power and diminishing carbon emissions. This global launch event assembles a diverse group of stakeholders - from international funders, ministries, and private companies to media and farming communities. 

Join us for an insightful expert-led panel discussion on: 

1. Relevance of DRE: As countries strive to advance their agricultural development plans DRE is an oft overlook solution. 

2. Applications and Opportunities: Finance and policy initiatives need to be strengthened to ensure DRE technology is available for small holder farmers. 

3. Initiatives in Action: Real-world examples, such as Ethiopia’s DREAM initiative, underscore the tangible benefits of combining renewable energy with agricultural practices. 

4. Impact on Climate Change: DRE is not only essential for power generation but also plays a role in combating climate change. Its integration into agricultural plans can address the adverse effects of climate change on agriculture and food security. 

Through our research and this discussion, we aim to demonstrate that by emphasizing DRE in agricultural strategies, stakeholders can boost efficiency, advance sustainability, and reduce climate change effects.
