Description:

This research investigates the crucial link between green and renewable energy-based financial literacy and its effects on promoting sustainable food sovereignty and security in México. The principal findings indicate that farmers who possess higher renewable energy financial literacy are more likely to adopt solar-powered irrigation systems, biomass energy services, and energy-efficient agricultural practices. This adoption not only reduces the cost of operations but also enhances climate change resilience and food production sustainability. The paper concludes that investments in targeted green energy financial literacy programs, coupled with revved-up financing mechanisms for renewable energy technologies in agriculture, can significantly advance México towards its goals of sustainable food security with environmental stewardship. These findings have important policy implications for the development of policy, educational curricula, and financial institution strategy that aim to facilitate México's agricultural transition.
