Highlighting this paper on #agrivoltaics by Cuppari et al. who found that farmers in NC and CA view solar on their farmland favorably, mostly due to profitability and they overwhelmingly said they’d continue to farm, but upfront system costs are a barrier buff.ly/h50m5dE

Had fun today planning our upcoming fieldwork on #Oahu on #Agrivoltaics with the fabulous scientists at Hawaii Agricultural Research Center ☀️ 🌱 🌶️ 🪫 🔋 🔌 🍅 #HawaiiAgriculture

Takeaways from #Roads2Removal symposium in #Wyoming : all discussions lead back to “how will this impact our economy,” Wyomingites take pride in a high ‘energy IQ,’ the state is well positioned (pun intended) for #DirectAirCapture, #CCS, and the necessary transportation/storage.

Quick break to visit our #LLNL fieldwork project at @ucdavisplants.bsky.social field site, where we are measuring #GHG fluxes from the soil 🌱 🫑 🌶️ #AgPV #Agrivoltaics

Discussion about EU regulations that say solar panel development of agricultural lands may not decrease crop production by 20% to still be called #agrivoltaics 🐑 🍅 🍇 🌱 🌾 🌽 #AgPV

Final talk of the session: Dr Majdi from @ucdavis.bsky.social @ucdavisplants.bsky.social 🌱 who is hosting this event here to speak on the role of #AgPV amidst specialty crop economics and reduced snowpack ☀️ 🌱 🔋 🔌 💦 🍅 🍇 🌶️ 🥜

Now @ucmerced.bsky.social is up on deck to discuss how farmers are interested in #agrivoltaics but they want help and guidance from State of #California on how to go about getting started with #AgPV

Now for Technical University of Munich speaking about how they are working to adapt regulations for solar build out to give special exceptions for #agrivoltaics #AgPV

Now California Dept of Food and Agriculture talk on how the state is trying to think about and incorporate #AgPV into state water and food resource planning. Take-home: state wants to protect crop lands from development, while still reaching #decarbonization goals with utility-scale solar.

Now Dr Oliver Schramm from the German Federal Foreign Office to discuss the @ec.europa.eu ‘s priorities on #AgPV for #decarbonization, while maintaining #FoodSecurity and #GeopoliticalResilience amidst a changing climate

#Agrivoltaics conference in @ucdavis.bsky.social welcome from Dr Helene Dillard on the role that #AgPV may play for #California and #Germany amidst #SGMA 🌱🌾☀️🪫🔋🔌💡

Big mahalo to the welcoming volunteers working the polling stations today 👏🙏🇺🇸 #Vote2024 #IVoted

“It’s easy to lose #carbon from soils, but it’s hard to gain it back. Best thing you can do is don’t leave it bare” - @Jeffinerca.bsky.social, in response to a question about #SoilCarbon and #CoverCropping 🌱🌾 #CDR

Now JP is taking the wheel to give an overview of the #roads2removal report and #CDR. roads2removal.org @jeffinerca.bsky.social

Let’s go! 👏 Janet McCabe from @EPA speaking first here at the #Roads2Removal symposia at @IndianaUniv on #CDR and #agriculture for #Indiana and the midwest broadly 🎙️

Clear, quick article showing which industries make sense and how for #CCS as a #decarbonization solution. kleinmanenergy.upenn.edu/commentary/b...
