Ladies and Gentlemen,

Our motto: Energy for the Agriculture; Energy from the Agriculture -

Poverty and Energy poverty is the trigger for hunger and not vice versa.

Agriculture is the foundation of all cultures, economic advancement and

human dignity. Global food production has increased manifolds, mainly from

the increased yields resulting from new crop varieties, greater inputs of

fertilizer, water and pesticides, and other technologies.

Lack of sufficient energy supply always leads to lack of development.

In countries and regions with shortage of energy the population suffers most.

As the fossil-fuel era is coming to its end, all future initiatives for the

improvement of the supply of energy must be based on renewable energy

source. As the rural areas are especially rich in renewable energy resources

agriculture will have an important role to play with diversification of income,

new employment, rural revitalization, security of supply.

In addition the humanity is facing immense challenges: Climate change,

natural disasters, globalization, finance and political crises, improper

economic policies, and speculations

The organizing committee cordially invites you and your colleagues to

participate in this event and communicate your research findings, thoughts and

strategies towards a future without hunger and poverty in peace and dignity

for all. Your participation will surely enrich the discussion and emerging

recommendations for personal, regional and global context.

We will be glad to meet you in the Thisted Municipality that is unique as its

46.000 inhabitants get their electricity 100% from the wind, the sun and

biomass at the very beautiful campus, Folkecenter, and enjoy the natural

vegetation, fresh air, hospitality and meeting of the friendly people of

Denmark.
