Abstract
Agriculture as a primary industry relies on energy use to a great extent. With
the depletion of fossil resources, increased energy prices will have a dramatic effect on
the competitiveness of agricultural production systems and energy efficiency will have
a great impact on the comparative cost advantages of agricultural production systems.
Within a Coordination and Support Action funded by the 7th research framework of the
EU (www.agree.aua.gr) a consortium from seven European countries identified
opportunities, constraints and research needs concerning energy efficiency in
agriculture.
