Synopsis (short abstract) This publication i) illustrates how costs and benefits of energy interventions including their impacts along the agrifood value chain can be measured at country level, ii) applies the analysis to 11 country case studies, iii) identifies barriers, possible solutions, business models and success factors for the adoption of energy technologies, and iv) draws general recommendations for investors and decision makers. This report summarizes the analysis and main findings stemming from the FAO project “Investing in Energy Sustainable Technologies for the Agrifood Sector” (INVESTA). FAO has been working together with GIZ and partners of the international initiative Powering Agriculture: An Energy Grand Challenge for Development (PAEGC) since 2014. PAEGC, also partnered by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), supports the development and deployment of clean energy innovations that increase agriculture productivity and stimulate low carbon economic growth in the agriculture sector of developing countries to help end extreme poverty and extreme hunger.

    The FAO project “Investing in Energy Sustainable Technologies in Agrifood Sector” (INVESTA) developed a methodology to analyze energy interventions in the agrifood sector . The main purpose of the methodology is to assess costs and benefits associated with renewable energy and energy efficiency practices and to highlight hidden socio-economic and environmental costs and benefits of such interventions. This is important for decision-making for better targeting investments that will result in a net benefit to the society. This publication summarizes the results of the application of the INVESTA methodology to solar irrigation systems in two international cooperation projects in Senegal.
