This paper analyses the system methodology of an energy planning model and renewable energy tech-nology for agricultural operations in Nigeria. The study applies an energy building scenarios approach and with a computer software FORTRAN regression method. Agricultural productivity and value added depend very much on certain factors such as the area of the land under cultivation, extent of multiple cropping, the choice of crop, use of high yielding varieties, use of organic and inorganic fer-tilizers, the coverage of surface and ground water irrigation schemes, and the extent of mechanization for land preparation.Downloads
