The Indo-German Energy Forum hosted by the Smarter E Podcast
Double Harvest: How can agriculture and the energy transition be successfully combined and what role does international cooperation play in this?
In the latest episode of The smarter E Podcast, host Zackes Brustik speaks with Tobias Winter, Head of the Indo-German Energy Forum Support Office (IGEF) in India, about the potential of Agri-Photovoltaics.
India is not only one of the largest agricultural markets in the world but also a hotspot for solar energy. Agri-PV systems combine both: solar modules installed above farmland enable food production and electricity generation on the same land for more efficient land use, less competition for space, and greater climate protection.
The Indo-German Energy Forum, as part of the Bilateral Energy Partnerships, plays a central role in driving such innovations. These partnerships open doors for political dialogue, foster private sector cooperation, and support the development of new technologies and business models.
This episode sheds light on opportunities, challenges, and the question: How can bilateral partnerships accelerate the deployment of Agri-PV and create win-win solutions for farmers, energy markets, and climate protection?

To achieve the international climate goals and make climate neutrality a reality by 2045, the German government's international energy partnerships have become one of the most important instruments of Germany's climate foreign policy. Their growing network strengthens the political dialogue on climate protection and energy system transformation between Germany and more than 30 partner countries worldwide.
