According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), there are great opportunities in geothermal energy for developing countries, not least for food production such as drying products and other food processing.
A new report on these issues was released this week by the FAO. Iceland is taken as an example of how successful it has been to utilize geothermal energy in agriculture and in general for food production. Matís' three employees are involved in writing the book, as well as Minh Van Nguyen, a lecturer at Nah Trang University in Vietnam.
José Graziano da Silva, Executive Director of the FAO and President of Iceland, Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson, write the introductory text of the report.
Further information and interesting additional material can be found at FAO website.
