👋Great news coming from our partner CEOE Ávila! 🤝The Naturpark Our delegation from Luxembourg and Nature Park Attersee-Traunsee delegation from Austria have visited the province of Ávila (Spain). The visit’s purpose was to analyze the area in which a future agriculture-related European project will be carried out. 🎤Susana B. from CEOE Ávila had the opportunity to introduce PV4 Plants to both delegations. She presented our project as an innovative initiative to promote sustainability and coexistence between agriculture and energy generation. ✨ Thanks to Susana for her great work and CEOE Ávila for organising this important visit! #SustainableAgriculture #AgriPV #Sustainability #SolarAgriculture

🙌Great news from Sustainable Places Conference 2024! 🗣️The PV4Plants team had the pleasure to present an online paper session on September 24. Colin Osborne from The University of Sheffield gave an online speech on how photovoltaic technology can transform agriculture. ☁️☀️Colin underlined how our project aims to profit from climate, water and the light spectrum to improve the development of crops🌱 (We will soon show you a video of Colin’s presentation). Meanwhile R2M Spain brought promotion material to strengthen the presence of PV4Plants during these enriching days. Deep thanks to Colin and our project partners for their assistance and participation, AgriPV is the future of agriculture!

Did you know that 10% of all greenhouse gas emissions in the EU are produced by the agricultural sector? This is due to an overdependence on fossil fuels for energy needs. Farmers often choose not to introduce new technologies or reduce their dependence on fossil fuels because they fear not being able to meet production volumes. 🍅The agricultural sector needs innovative and #sustainablesolutions, such as #agriPV technologies, which have multiple benefits. Due to the employment of #solarenergy, agriPV minimizes the use of fossil fuels in agriculture, but it also creates local #sociofinancialopportunities 🤝 and improves crop yields. ☀️The system is based on light spectrum engineering and real-time monitoring which allows the generation of a secure microclimate beneath the solar panels. 🌱Let’s meet the Green New Deal's decarbonisation goal by 2050 and develop a #sustainablefuture for agriculture!
