SUNfarming Food-and-Energy Plants

Energy, Food and Jobs worldwide

With the PPP-Project "Food-and-Energy" we enhance our efforts not only to ensure for energy security, but also at the same time our solar-microclimate-greenhouse is ensuring a sustainable food supply with a water consumption that is kept to a minimum. Food and Energy Plants are a keydriver in combating unemployment in ressource poor areas, in crisis area and developing countries.


One example:
1 MW Food-and-Energy Plant, erected on 1,8 ha in Southern Africa or the Middle East, delivers in 1 year:
490 000 kg of local produced food, 1700 MWh renewable solar energy, 83000 tons of CO2 savings, 75-100 sustainable jobs and trainings facilities.

Food-and-Energy Plants
SUNfarming is building Food-and-Energy Training-Centres
Students, teachers and community members are trained in intergration of sustainable PV-technology and breeding, modern irrigation, harvest, packaging, marketing and sales in local markets. As a first project SUNfarming is supporting their partner company Alensys AG with the PPP-project "Food-and-Energy" in cooperation with the DEG (Deutsche Investitions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH) in South Africa

Our goal:
SUNfarming is in contact with countries like Namibia, Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon, and Pastikan to develop projects with an average size of 10 MWp. With the experience of more than 400 MW realised PV-projects worldwide, thereof 70 MW owned by SUNfarming, together with german and international state bodies we certainly have an important contribution in the structural development in developing countries and crisis areas:
- energy security with renewable energy
- food production with water-saving drip-irrigation (hydroponics)
- sustainable trainings and jobs

EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT THE ENERGY TRANSITION. WE ARE MAKING IT.
