Where and When Was the Forum?
Conference Program and Presentatons
Ag Forum Reflections

Over the past four years, ACEEE has been active in reinvigorating interest in energy issues in agriculture. We worked with the Senate Agriculture Committee to craft the energy title (Title IX) of the 2002 Farm Bill. Since the bill's passage, we have worked to provide information on energy efficiency opportunities in the agricultural sector and to identify successful program strategies, becoming a leading source of information on energy efficiency in agriculture through our Web site and reports. In June of 2004 we participated in the USDA and Farm Foundation conference Agriculture as a Producer and Consumer of Energy. In order to expand the dialogue about the role of energy efficiency in agriculture, ACEEE organized the Forum on Energy Efficiency in Agriculture. The Forum focused on advancing programs and policies that can help the agricultural community realize the benefits of a more efficient use of energy in agricultural operations.

The ACEEE Forum on Energy Efficiency in Agriculture also focused on issues related to increasing the sustainability of the agriculture sector, with an emphasis on improving energy efficiency. It highlighted energy efficiency technologies, policies, and actions that can contribute to more sustainable agriculture production in the U.S.
