Food and energy are deeply connected. Learn how on farm solar, agrivoltaics and biological energy systems can strengthen resilience and productivity.
A resilient food system depends on more than healthy soils and productive farms. It also depends on reliable, affordable and locally generated energy.
In this session, Tim Crownshaw from EECA provides a practical overview of the Solar on Farms programme and the growing opportunities for integrating renewable energy into food production. From agrivoltaics, where solar generation and agriculture work together, to emerging opportunities such as biochar and biogas through anaerobic digestion, Tim will explore the potential for on farm energy generation and use.
