Clean, Green and Endless - Linking Renewable Energy to Food Security in Pakistan: A Global Value Chain Analysis
Abstract
This paper talks about the energy sector in Pakistan and its current issues, the areas
affected by the energy shortage crisis and the implications that has on the agricultural
production and food security in Pakistan. The various stakeholders involved in the
energy sector in Pakistan are identified along with their different levels of interest
and influences. The paper presents case examples of China and Tajikistan to show the
progress these two countries are making in the renewable energy domain to resolve
food security. This paper then highlights how Pakistan is integrated in Global Value
Chains (GVCs) for renewable energy and food security, where it stands in terms of
other countries and how it can upgrade at environmental, socio-economic and technological
levels. The paper also highlights how through the use of GVC analysis, the link between
renewable energy and food security can be made and how Pakistan can improve its position
in the GVC by resolving energy security which impacts food security. Furthermore,
through the use of different policy tools, the paper outlines various policy options
in detail and identifies the best alternative for Pakistan. An implementation design
and strategy is also outlined. The paper concludes by summarizing the main points
and by offering recommendations for Pakistan for the policy makers and the government.
