SUMMARY:Agrivoltaics as Sustainable Farming Solution in the Fraser Valley
DESCRIPTION:This event\, hosted by the Clean Energy Research Group at SFU alongside our partners\, introduces agrivoltaics as a viable path for climate resilience and farm viability in BC. Agrivoltaics is the practice of integrating solar panel systems overtop farm field production to create a dual-yield of both electrical power and agriculture. With back-to-back years of devastating weather\, agrivoltaics offers a model for crop protection\, renewable energy\, and improved water and energy efficiency without sacrificing existing farmland. \nCurrent research demonstrates that this pairing of agriculture with energy systems can help: \n\nPreserve Farmland While Maximizing Its Efficiency (Dual Use)\nReduce Drought and Hail Damage From Climate Change On Our Agriculture Sector\nCreate Green Jobs In Rural Farming Communities\nHelp Transition The Agriculture Industry From Fossil Fuels To Renewable Energy\nStimulate The Economy Through Decentralized Revenue Generation\n\nAt this event you will:  \n\nHear lessons from cutting edge research and practical examples of Agrivoltaics\nLearn about opportunities for incentives and the current barriers for agrivoltaics adoption in BC\nJoin in discussions about the technical aspects of agrivoltaics and agrivoltaic greenhouses\n\n  \nTime: March 31st\, 7-9 pm \nLocation: The Reach Gallery Museum\, 32388 Veterans Way\, Abbotsford\, BC V2T 0B3 \n  \nRegister today!
