#TermTuesday: Agrivoltaics Combining agriculture and solar energy on the same land, agrivoltaics is a game-changer for sustainable farming. Not only does it help generate renewable energy, but studies also show it can boost crop yields by providing partial shade and improving moisture retention. Double the benefits on the same plot of land! Curious to learn more? Swipe through and see why agrivoltaics could be the future of farming.

“A Farmer’s Guide to Biochar” from Australia New Zealand Biochar Industry Group (ANZBIG) provides practical and scientific insights into biochar production, application, and benefits. Covering methods from DIY to commercial, it explains biochar’s role in improving #soilhealth, #cropyield, and #carbonsequestration, supporting sustainable and regenerative agriculture practices. https://buff.ly/4funV4K #Biochar #Pyrolysis #CarbonCapture

The USDA has invested $120 million in six U.S. biochar projects to boost domestic fertilizer production, reduce import dependence, and support sustainable agriculture. Funding recipients across six states will develop facilities to create biochar and other fertilizers from renewable resources, enhancing American agricultural resilience. https://buff.ly/3C8Nkmm #Biochar #Pyrolysis #CarbonCapture

“Few plants self-pollinate: the vast majority depend on animals, wind or water for reproduction.🌬🐝 Besides bees and other insects, a wide range of different animals can also be pollinators. 🦎” Learn more about what pollinators are, why they are important and why they are declining https://lnkd.in/esdtuEC4 via European Parliament

A study found biochar made from crop residues enhances soil health, boosts rice-wheat yields, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Compared to manure and raw straw, biochar significantly improved carbon storage and nutrient retention while lowering methane emissions, supporting sustainable agriculture and climate goals. https://buff.ly/4hoj5YC #Biochar #Pyrolysis #CarbonCapture

“If the cement industry were a country, it would be the third largest carbon dioxide emitter in the world with up to 2.8bn tonnes, surpassed only by China and the US.” Concrete consumes nearly 10% of global industrial water, mostly in drought-prone areas, and contributes to the urban heat-island effect (where most “extreme temperatures” are recorded). Its destruction of natural infrastructure undermines essential ecological functions and promotes urban sprawl, threatening fertile land, soil, and habitats. But livestock is the problem, right Stuart Austin ? EarthOptics Cowboy Carbon Thank you for sharing, Trent Preszler
