Sustainable AgriVoltaic: agriVoltaic design, environment and landscape. First Session.

Agrivoltaics is a crucial solution to achieving renewable energy (or electricity) generation goals for our country. However, the issue of plant insertion into the landscape remains one of the main barriers to its implementation.
In fact, while it is true that agrivoltaics is in itself an innovative approach capable of combining renewable energy production with agriculture, offering benefits for both the environment and local communities, the challenge is to implement a sustainable transformation of the landscape through the development and adoption of innovative approaches and solutions that make the value of agrivoltaics tangible to the entire community. So, on the one hand, the benefits of agrivoltaics will have to be assessable and quantifiable for the territories in which the intervention takes place, and on the other, they will have to constitute a shared value, of which the landscape is a collective representation. This is a complex challenge, and one that takes a long time for collective thinking, with respect to which we are only taking the first steps.

The session aims to explore best practices for developing agrivoltaic projects that are sustainable and integrated into the landscape. Through presentations, discussions, and interactive sessions, participants will have the opportunity to learn more about policies, regulations, and project strategies that can facilitate the adoption of agrivoltaics to support sustainable landscape transformation.
