Last year, we found that you could increase strawberry yield by 18 per cent under solar panels compared to strawberries in an open field. This agrivoltaic crop yield bump has been shown for dozens of other crops and solar panel combinations all over the world, including basil, broccoli, celery, corn, grapes, kale, lettuce, pasture grass, peppers, potatoes, tomatoes and more

🌊🌿 #Marine scientists and Chumash tribal leaders are successfully restoring #California's #kelp #forests through collaborative efforts that combine traditional knowledge with modern techniques.

Researchers have achieved significant successes including an 80-acre restoration near #LosAngeles while developing kelp #farming for #carbon capture and agricultural biofertilizers that could help California reach #netzero #emissions.

For me, always a good example to change perspectives and become decent in our anthropocentrism: this is a #farmer with cattle. #Ants developed #farming long before humans existed.
