Handbook of Energy for World Agriculture
Author: B.A. Stout
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0444598545
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 519
Book Description
Adequate food supplies and a reasonable quality of life require energy - both in commercial and non-commercial forms. This handbook is intended as a reference for individuals who want a comprehensive overview of energy for agriculture, many of whom are located in remote areas with limited library resources. The purpose is to put energy for agriculture in perspective by presenting numerous national and regional examples of energy usage.Since the early 1970s, world petroleum prices have fluctuated from US$3/barrel to more than US$40/barrel in 1981, and then back to one-third of the peak price today. Consequently, the rural sector depends heavily on non-commercial energy sources. Availability of such energy is highly site-specific. This handbook deals extensively with non-commercial energy - its sources, the technologies for converting energy to more useful gaseous and liquid forms, and its ultimate end-uses.Photographs, tables, line drawings and graphs are used extensively. Over 600 references are listed along with agency names and addresses for obtaining further information.

Energy's Role in Western Europe's Agriculture
Author: Ruth Elleson
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Agriculture
Languages : en
Pages : 44
Book Description
Extract: The 1973-80 oil price increases did not significantly alter the structure of Western Europe's agricultural sector or the flow of agricultural exports to the region. Energy costs represent a relatively small percentage of total input costs, with the greenhouse sector the only exception. As long as European Community policy continues to support agricultural prices, future energy crises are not likely to significantly affect the structure and performance of the region's agriculture. Biomass from farm waste and surplus crops can provide only a small part of agriculture's energy requirements, and energy crops may never be economically viable.
