Another New Twist On Agrivoltaics: Friendly Solar-Powered Farm Robots
The field of agrivoltaics is rapidly evolving to include fleets of new autonomous, mobile solar powered robots that weed and analyze crops.
Regenerative Agriculture Finds Its Mojo, With Or Without Agrivoltaics
Private investors, public funding, and agrivoltaics are all converging on regenerative agriculture like a thousand points of light.
Hoosiers To Lead Rural Solar Power Revolution
Indiana has been drifting around in the solar power doldrums, but it is poised to lead the transtition to agrivoltaics throughout the US agricultural industry.
A Pathway To 350 PPM, Part 2: Carbon Farming Can Deliver
In the second part of this two part series, I’ll show how the inefficiency of how we obtain the energy to power the human body provides a lifeline for getting us out of this climate crisis.
A Pathway To 350 PPM, Part 1: Carbon Sequestration Is Vital
Humans are responsible for emitting around 55 billion tonnes of CO2eq/year with 2⁄3 of the emissions coming from the burning of fossil carbon. Currently, there are 414 PPM of CO2 in the atmosphere, and it’s rising at just over 2 PPM per year. Even if we were to completely stop burning fossil carbon, we would still see an increase in the amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) entering the atmosphere, largely from agriculture and potentially from positive feedback loops triggered by a hotter world.
Back To The Earth: Carbon Farming & The Green New Deal
Contrary to popular belief, it’s food production that emits the majority of greenhouse gases.
Carbon Farming (Video)
Some people farm corn. Some farm wheat. Some, like Connor Stedman, farm carbon.
Forest “Carbon Farms” More Profitable Than Raising Cattle
Multinational researchers this week divulged the results of a study of Colombia’s western Andes, one of the world’s most threatened ecosystems, that confirmed that letting cattle land regrow as forest “carbon farms” could remove significant amounts of carbon dioxide from earth’s atmosphere without damaging local economies. Environmental scientists have focused … [continued]
Carbon Farming Being Tested As a Way to Store CO2 in Soil
Farms are places of food and commodity production almost by definition. But that definition is changing with carbon farming. This new style of farming, which produces soils that store carbon dioxide, is currently being explored by scientists at the US Geological Survey and UC Davis in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River … [continued]
