Abstract
This report provides a compilation of energy efficiency measures in agriculture, their
opportunities and constraints to implement energy efficient agricultural systems across
Europe as a result of the AGREE (Agriculture & Energy Efficiency) Coordination and Support
Action funded by the 7th research framework of the EU (www.agree.aua.gr). The report
dwells on earlier reports of the consortium, which listed potential energy efficiency
measures (Project Deliverable 2.3: Energy Saving Measures in Agriculture – Overview on the Basis of National Reports) and identified trade-offs and win-win situations of various energy efficiency measures in agriculture (Project Deliverable 3.1: Economic and environmental
analysis of energy efficiency measures in agriculture). It shows research gaps in crop
production, greenhouse production, animal husbandry and system approaches, which can
be regarded as priorities for energy efficiency measures in agriculture. The report is na important input for the strategic research agenda, which is one of the main outputs of the AGREE project.
