Energy Efficiency 1

This resource explains the role of energy efficiency in farming, with students reflecting on what they already know about the different types of renewable energy that are available, how they could be used on the farm, and how a farmer can create renewable energy on the farm. Whilst suitable as stand alone activities, these resources would also work well during a farm visit as part of a farm tour and/or post visit.
