		+	== Understanding Communities ==
		+	During the discussion, our panelists established that conventional approaches to energy planning devote insufficient attention to '''community engagement'''. With their capacities and abilities, communities can support and lead successful energy initiatives. Engagement is possible on three different levels:

		+	# '''Obtaining''' information from the communities (one-way exchange)
		+	# '''Educating''' communities (two-way exchange)
		+	# '''Involving''' communities in decision making along the entire project (ensuring buy-in)As people tend to prioritise development aspects that are not directly expressed in terms of energy – such as improving incomes from farming – '''cross-sector approaches''' were considered key by our panelists. The implementation of such approaches requires multi-actor collaboration. The discussion also highlighted the challenges that community involvement can face, especially in terms of '''resistance''' to cross-sector collaboration:

		+	* Low priority given to community engagement by energy investment and funding programmes

		+	This study applies transdisciplinary methodology to learn about the sustainability strategies of farmers’ associations in Colombia. The cases illustrate that a specific energy technology – such as domestic biodigestion – can be implemented in conjunction with other techniques and strategies to strengthen the livelihoods of farming families (cross-sector links):
