LegoVoltaics is the intersection of Agriculture, Photovoltaics, and.... LEGOs? I love the opportunity to teach kids about renewable energy using LEGOs. Check out the video below and don't forget to celebrate National LEGO day this weekend with your family, I know I will be! #lego #weareenel #agrivoltaics #legovoltaics

I’m beginning to like the word #agrivoltaic. Just looking for the right opportunity to present itself. #Hydroseeding #AgrivoltaicBiodiversity #SolarFarming #RenewableAgriculture #BiodiverseFarms #Agroecology #SustainableEnergy #FarmingInnovation #GreenTech #SolarAgroecosystems #BiodiversityConservation #AgroRenewables #ClimateSmartAgriculture #CleanEnergyFarming #Agrivoltaics #EcoFriendlyFarming #NatureFriendlyAgri #SolarIntegration #AgroBiodiversity #FarmToSolar #RenewableFuture

Today is the Spring Equinox. 5000 years ago, Irish growers had a test that used sunlight to detect this vital moment in the farming calendar. Today, the "NEN Test" enables growers to compare the growing light transmitted through the various climate screens on the market. It means that when growers ask for NEN 2675+C1 results, they can know just how much growing light will penetrate through an energy or diffusion screen to the crop canopy below. The test was developed by the University of Wageningen and later used to benchmark the market-leading light transmittance of the Svensson Luxous screen. Read about the ancient Newgrange Mound in Ireland, and today's NEN test here. https://bit.ly/3TrKwFD

We're not pollen your leg, it's finally Pollinator Week! 🐝🪲🦋 Follow along this week as we recognize the importance of pollinators to healthy communities, ecosystems, and agriculture. Learn more about EPA’s ongoing work to protect pollinator species and their habitats: https://lnkd.in/e8_y-FP

Pollinators are crucial for the reproduction of many plants, ensuring biodiversity and the production of fruits, nuts, and seeds essential for ecosystems and human food supplies. Check out this post from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on the role of pollinators.

In the complex relation of Earth's ecosystems, wetlands play a pivotal role, quietly orchestrating the dance of life. Amidst the ever-evolving landscape of modern agriculture, these sanctuaries find themselves at a crucial crossroads. Join us on a journey to explore the intricate relationship between farming the future and preserving the richness of our wetlands. Read more about it in the article 👉 https://lnkd.in/dtEvJ8Fc

Winter on the farm, what's it like for our animals? 🐄 🐖 🐓 Astrid, our breeder, is constantly making sure the cold doesn't get to them. - She mulches a lot, to keep the animals warm. This natural bedding helps the animals retain their warmth and provides good thermal insulation. - She makes sure the animals have something to eat and drink. This means keeping an eye on the water troughs, as the risk of freezing is high. A necessary task, since our animals stay outdoors all winter long. Don't worry, we've consciously chosen hardy breeds that can withstand the drop in temperature. 🤗 Want to know more? Find out more about Astrid's winter work in our new blog post (link in comments) ---- Domaine de Graux is an agroecological farm. We're convinced that the future of mankind and the planet depends on a better harmony between agriculture and ecology. And we're determined to get our hands in the soil and show that this is not just a pipe dream. 🧑🏽🌾 🌿 Stay in touch!

🌱 "We know from the evidence that our global #FoodSystems are one of the key drivers of biodiversity collapse. At the same time, reinvesting in models of food and farming that promote biodiversity is one of the key strategies for protecting it." — Anna Lappé. In the latest episode of the Feed podcast by TABLE, our Executive Director, Anna Lappé, dives into a crucial conversation on the direct link between food systems and #biodiversity loss. As #COP16 approaches, this timely discussion with global experts explores how transforming food systems can play a pivotal role in protecting both people and the planet. 🎧 Listen to the episode here: https://lnkd.in/ggF_ANEt

The way the world’s major economies adopt and promote the bioeconomy depends primarily on the organizational structure in place. If it's the typical restrictive and tropophobic dominant hierarchy, little -if anything- will be accomplished. Now more than ever, organizations must be based on an enhancive and tropophilic NON-dominant hierarchy to ensure positive and sustainable outcomes. https://lnkd.in/gPacUUu
