Just taggjng #Agrovoltaics 😊

@anuckols @atthenius @Lyle Yesterday was miserably hot. It was probably less than 75F and only April. The garden grows spinach, kale, collards which all will benefit from #agrovoltaics. I heard that in December, a shade was placed over the spinach to keep it from getting fried by the sun.

#ClimateDiary This too sounds like a really good way forward - growing (more) mushrooms #Funghi in forests for #carboncapture and food. Discovered it in my children’s TheWeekJunior but saw now that Alistair Jump, one of the researchers involved, is here on Mastodon 😊 - @alistairjump I would love to learn more. Now Imagining a farming future with mosaics of #AgroVoltaics #MushroomForest and older good practices - see my earlier #HistoricalEcology thread for some examples

And, #agrovoltaics are proving to be not only beneficial for the energy production, but also for the crops and animals that live in harmony.

March was the first #solar #farm #summit in Chicago.

#ClimateDiary making up for a few gloomier posts these last couple of days, here a nice #ClimateHope one. This finding, that #Agrovoltaics - the combination of #solar panels with agriculture - does not just work well for crops and space maximisation but ALSO improves the performance of solar panels themselves, seems hugely significant. This may well become a common sight in the future. #SolarPunk

In case someone tells you that #renewables ☀️y #nature cannot be compatible, show them this article.

Agrivoltaics can increase land-use efficiency, produce plenty of electricity on minimal land

#Agrovoltaics (raised solar panels, crops below) is proving successful in Kenya, providing electricity and collecting rainwater as well as improving crops and reducing irrigation.

I have always found the argument that #WindFarms use up too much #land lacking in reality. Even #AgroVoltaics provide dual use of land.
