The project assesses the relative use and cost of energy in agriculture with a focus on irrigation, examines the relative contribution of energy to crop productivity and cost, and through using data as an input into mathematical models assesses agricultural productivity and farm incomes under alternative energy price scenarios; and environmental outcomes under these scenarios, in particular greenhouse gas emissions and water quality.
