Many micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises lack an awareness of sustainable agricultural value and supply chains and how agricultural waste-to-energy systems can support sustainable consumption and production practices. The agricultural sector is facing unprecedented resource pressures. The Renewable Energy and Energy-Efficiency Partnership (REEEP), a Vienna-based international organization that advances markets for renewable energy and energy efficiency, envisions future agricultural production in South Africa as being clean, powered by renewable energy and energy-efficient systems. This information is vital in reducing costs, improving yields and adhering to relevant policies in place in South Africa.
In this project, REEEP is working together with the South African National Energy Development Institute (SANEDI) to facilitate energy research, energy stakeholder collaboration and the dissemination of national and international renewable energy knowledge that contributes to a green economy.
