Actually , both reduced tillage and optimized drip irrigation are practices that significantly lower energy consumption, contributing to more sustainable and energy-efficient farming systems.

Optimized drip irrigation systems provide significant energy savings through water-use efficiency and precision technologies, while less tillage indirectly reduces fuel consumption. When combined, they create a climate-smart agricultural strategy that strikes a balance between sustainability and productivity.

The agricultural sector’s energy use is expected to skyrocket in the future decades. The estimated growth in food demand is outstripping the anticipated increase in energy capacity, which necessitates an increase in energy usage. Energy efficiency refers to the use of less energy to provide the same amount of output and services. Greater energy efficiency in food production systems is required since the projected energy production growth is inadequate and conventional energy sources are limited. Energy is consumed on farms directly as electricity or fuel to power farm activities and indirectly as fertilizers and other agricultural pesticides produced off-farm. Around 18.5 percent of overall energy consumption is spent by agriculture. Processing and transportation of agricultural goods and inputs consume more energy in high-income countries, while cooking consumes the most in low-income countries. The possibilities for increasing energy efficiency in agricultural through the implementation of innovative techniques and practices without compromising agriculture’s high production are needed to be identified for each and every crop and ecology. Conservation agriculture, organic farming, preserving agro-biodiversity, improved soil and water management, integrated pest management, and plant fertilization are some of the strategies and practices that can help the agriculture sector progress toward higher energy use efficiency and sustainability. A higher level of mechanization and advanced food-processing technologies are also important. Rural people are at risk of being left behind unless energy policies are tailored precisely to their requirements.

For removing crisis of energy a new system of solar energy capturing from agricultural lands along with farming. In one acre agricultural land average 1500-3000 units ( kWh) /day electricity as per location DNI is generated which is sufficient to operate water pumps, electric tractors, electric agro machineries for 100 hectares land farming including chillers etc. Farmer may adopt zero emissions solar energy system in their farms along with normal farming. No shading effect on crops.
