Abstract
This research addresses the theoretical and legal perspectives of energy-smart agri-food systems (ESAFS) concerning sustainability and the right to food. ESAFS supplies self-generated sustainable energy for agricultural production. These are an alternative for reducing agri-food systems’ dependence on fossil fuels and building their resilience against exponential energy prices. There is a scarce legal regulation on the implementation of renewable energy sources in the agri-food sector, which decides the poor theoretical and legal treatment. This research’s main objective is to approach renewable energy sources in agri-food production in Latin America and the Caribbean from a theoretical and legal perspective.
