Agrivoltaics as a Resilience Strategy

This 2-hour educational webinar will provide attendees with foundational knowledge and action-ready information about the opportunity to integrate agricultural production and solar energy production on the same land. Drawing on a growing body of scientific research, topics covered will include: 1) Key principles, best practices, and benefit optimization strategies guiding this dual-use approach to land, water, and energy management; 2) Compatibility considerations, with a focus on crop pairings, resource conservation, operational efficiencies, and community benefits; and 3) Collaborative problem-solving to identify opportunities and approaches to help landowners and farmers more quickly and confidently understand, evaluate, and implement agrivoltaics. Participants will leave with an understanding of how agrivoltaics can play a role in bolstering both economic and ecosystem resilience for working farms in California
