The dominant energy sources on conventional farms in the developed world are diesel oil (to power tractors and other self-propelled equipment) and electricity (to provide light, heat and refrigeration; and to power electric motors to run milking machines, animal feeding systems, ventilation fans, water supply and irrigation systems).
Even if developing agricultural systems should follow this route, it is still important that state-of-the-art on-farm equipment for treatment and preservation is available in the future.
