Renewable energy and agriculture: Developing a common language for technological integration

Abstract

In recent years, the agricultural sector has recognized the importance of renewable energy for its sustainable development. This shift is driven by the need to address global challenges such as climate change, energy security, and rising costs of traditional energy sources. Renewable energy, including solar, wind, bioenergy, and other sustainable sources, offers a promising solution while enhancing agricultural practices’ resilience and efficiency. The integration of renewable energy in agriculture serves multiple purposes. It provides farmers with cleaner, more sustainable, and cost-effective energy sources. For example, solar energy can power irrigation systems, reducing reliance on diesel pumps, and wind energy can support on-farm operations. Bioenergy derived from agricultural waste not only offers a renewable energy source but also helps manage waste.This article explores the application of Cross-Disciplinary Semantic Mapping in Renewable Energy and Agriculture. It analyzes key terms and concepts in both sectors and their semantic overlaps and divergences, highlighting the importance of linguistic nuances in interdisciplinary communication and collaboration.
