| Sumario: | The global energy transition currently in process involves increases in variable renewable energy generation and ongoing electrification of transport and industrial processes, leading to the possibility of absolute declines in the use of coal and petroleum before 2030.
This transition creates both opportunities and risks for agrifood systems.
Trade will be an important impact channel for net exporters and net importers of fossil fuels, with impacts spilling into the agrifood sector.
Improvements in energy technology, particularly solar generation, have broad applications with potentially large implications for agrifood systems.
