Introduction
This report is a review of past initiatives undertaken by Agriculture Canada's Energy Research and Development in Agriculture and Food (ERDAF) program experiences. The ERDAF program was a contracting out program estimated at about $15 million of which about half (90 projects) addressed renewable energy. Initial program efforts focused on assessing R&D needs and potentials and establishing priorities and energy production and utilization possibilities. A very broad approach was taken in the program because agriculture also benefits from advances made in other sectors and agriculture has the potential to make a net energy contribution. Projects were seen and carried out in their full perspective and not limited to just energy.
