Abstract

The integration of renewable energy sources like geothermal with the food production sectors could reduce dependence on fossil fuels and contribute to achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specially focusing on food security and climate protection. Geothermal water can generate electricity and serve as a water supply, providing reliable access to clean water without impacting the environment. Despite its potential, geothermal energy is undervalued, making it underutilized in industrial processes. This chapter evaluates potential geothermal applications in the field of agriculture and agro-food sectors, including processing, cooking, oil extraction, drying, textile washing, pulp and paper processing, fuel generation, space heating, leather production, cooling, therapeutic balneology, and snow melting.
