Synopsis (short abstract) Energy-smart and climate-smart agrifoodsystems can be viable solutions for development, and can bring significant structural change, especially in rural areas relying on clean energy solutions. However, addressing these challenges calls for better evidence to target actions and promote solutions. This concerns, in particular, the viability and the sustainability of clean energy solutions in agrifoodvalue chains. Against this background, the project aimed to contribute to the assessment of clean energy interventions in agrifoodchains in developing and emerging countries by assessing their economic implications (beyond simple financial returns, but including externalities), the technology suitability for a specific development context, and the real return on investment, as well as the enabling conditions and policies needed to trigger the much sought pro-poor investments. The project contributes to the international initiative Powering Agriculture –An Energy Grand Challenge for Development (PAEGC).
