This book provides a technological and scientific endeavor to assist society and farming communities in different regions and scales to improve their productivity and sustainability. The text coverage is presented into four sections. First section focuses on the conversion of moving water or air (wind) into electricity and solar, solar-hybrids, and geothermal energy-sources are presented in second section. Furthermore, biofuel and biomass energy production is asserted in three section and section four, hydrogen and nuclear power, addresses important issues like the need to phase out nuclear power due to technical and economic incompatibility with renewables.
