Agriculture Somrest

The size and diversity of Biotopia has allowed for a broad range of agricultural activities to be conducted. The utilisation of modern agricultural practices and restructuring the market system has improved productivity. Each province is required to produce a minimum quota of its total annual nutritional requirements. This has limited potential earnings from domestic sales for many farmers making exporting the only profitable alternative. Agriculture employs around 8 of the labour force and contributes 12% of the GDP.

Modernisation Demakall

Modernising the Biotopian economy has been the key in improving the standard of living and economic productivity. The most successful of these innovations has been the information technology sector which has grown 600% since the modernisation program was introduced. Modernisation has also meant the diversification of exports, value-adding initiatives and the application of innovation at all levels of production and distribution.

Energy Policy Jumer Klata

Sustainable energy has been applied throughout Biotopia and is used primarily to supply domestic demand with fossil fuels, geothermic and hydropower supplying industrial demand and the requirements for peak-load electricity. Fossil Fuels continue to be phased out and Biotopia has a leading sustainable energy sector. Fossil Fuels are planned to be reduced to 33% by 2020. Their use is offset by mass-plantings to ensure carbon-neutrality.

• Fossil Fuels 46%
• Nuclear 0%
• Geo/Hydro 14.5%
• Bio/Solar/Aero 39.5%
