A new study reveals that the transition to renewable energy could lead to increased food prices and reduced agricultural production. Professor Emilson Silva, Director of the Energy Centre at the University of Auckland, and Dr. Luccas Attílio from the Federal University of Ouro Preto in Brazil analyzed data from 32 OECD countries spanning from 2000 to 2021. The study indicates that these effects are more pronounced in countries that have rapidly transitioned to renewable energy. It emphasizes the need for governments to develop more balanced policies, such as income support programs, during the energy transition.
