What we do

Discover how we empower farmers becoming more independent from price fluctuations of fossil energy and mineral fertilisers inputs:

Who is this for?

The impact of the project

AgEnRes aims to provide better analytical tools, improved decision making for farmers and policy-makers, better capacity for the farming sector to cope with price variations of fossil energy, and to support preferred investments in fossil energy independent technologies and farming practices, generating a positive impact on the European agricultural sector.
  1. Reducing Emissions and Empowering Sectors
    IMPACT 1

    Reducing Emissions and Empowering Sectors

    We will assist farmers in making informed decisions regarding the optimal utilization of energy and mineral fertilisers, reducing fossil energy dependence, greenhouse gas emissions and pollutants, reshaping sustainability through practices such as fuel switching and zero-tillage systems, offering insights into cost-effective mitigation strategies, and sharing comprehensive data at different scales.
  2. Advancing Science, Knowledge about Technology Adoption, and Policy Design
    IMPACT 2

    Advancing Science, Knowledge about Technology Adoption, and Policy Design

    We integrate economic, behavioural, energy, bio-physical, agronomic and environmental models, modules and data considering and contributing to Green Deal policies, SDGs, and climate policies, promoting a system approach. We improve foresight methods to elaborate scenarios and to support policy design related to energy use in agriculture.

  3. Minimising financial exposure to price fluctuations of fossil energy and mineral fertilisers.
    IMPACT 3

    Minimising financial exposure to price fluctuations of fossil energy and mineral fertilisers.

    Our new financial price risk management tools can minimize financial exposure to price fluctuations fossil energy and mineral fertilisers.

    Our framework connects socioeconomic and biophysical domains, fostering innovation in governance and social sectors, facilitating access to models and data that support global knowledge sharing and better decision-making.

OPEN-PROM: bringing energy-system dynamics into the AgEnRes modelling toolbox

Energy prices do not stop at the farm gate. For agriculture, changes in crude oil prices, fuel markets, energy policy and decarbonisation pathways can quickly affect production costs, input choices and resilience. This is why, for the AgEnRes modelling toolbox, one of the project’s key results, the focus is not on modelling agriculture in isolation, but on connecting farm-level and land-use analysis with the wider energy system.
