Se prevé que la demanda mundial de alimentos y agua crezca un 50% a mediados de siglo, lo que supondrá una presión cada vez mayor sobre los sistemas de agua, energía y alimentación existentes. Este aumento de la demanda de alimentos supone una oportunidad para que tecnologías energéticas limpias como la geotermia apoyen el desarrollo de «sistemas alimentarios sostenibles».
The use of geothermal heat in the agri-food value chains has several benefits, including increased food productivity due to growing crops and animals in optimal environments, and reduced food spoilage due to timely processing, drying/dehydration and cold storage/refrigeration. Other benefits include empowering women and youth who are heavily involved in food production, particularly in developing countries, and a general improvement in the living standards of local communities.
