NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

Agrifood systems, using 30% of global energy and emitting a third of greenhouse gases, intensify the climate crisis. With a 60% surge in food demand projected by 2050, urgent shifts to sustainable and more productive agriculture are vital. Decentralized renewable energy offers hope. However, particularly in the Global South, it requires immediate funding and effective government policies. Join this interactive webinar to hear from panelists on how distributed renewable energy solutions are already transforming agrifood systems and the additional steps needed to maximize their potential.
