Faced with rising energy costs and increasing demand for food, developing countries and donors are examining links between energy use and agriculture. This paper reports on an international workshop held to review problems in energy and agriculture in developing countries and to advise A.I.D. of potential solutions. Two papers summarize working groups' findings on energy in agricultural production and energy in the postharvest system. The first addresses germ plasm, mechanization of agricultural production, fertilizer and biological nitrogen fixation, pest control, and water for crop production. The second report discusses transportation, energy supply objectives for post-harvest food systems, the energy and food consumption system, and reforestation. Also included is a detailed list of conclusions and recommendations emphasizing the need to develop technologies appropriate to a wide range of environments and situations. Appended are a 238-item bibliography (1953-81) and a list of workshop participants.

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. Source: award and document years
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
Who started the program, and which administration it began under. Timing only; it does not say who started it. Source: initiative records, start year
