Scientists in Sweden created a smart system that grows food and generates clean energy on the same land without compromising either. The breakthrough could transform how we use farmland to feed people and power communities.
Scientists just solved a problem farmers didn't know their animals had. New research shows how to keep livestock safe from lightning strikes at solar farms where cows graze between panels.
Scientists in Indonesia discovered that solar panels installed over farmland don't just generate clean energy. They're actually changing the soil beneath them in ways that could help feed the world.
A UK shepherd grew her flock from 20 to 200 sheep by grazing them under solar panels. This win-win approach called agrivoltaics is helping struggling farmers while meeting clean energy demands.
Scientists have cracked the code for combining solar panels with farming equipment, solving a puzzle that's been wasting up to 30% of valuable cropland. The secret is planning tractor routes before installing the panels.
