Your next puffer jacket could be made from bulrushes, as carbon-storing peat farming takes off
A researcher explains the benefits of a relatively new farming practice called paludiculture.

#Agrivoltaics is the practice of purposefully shading agricultural crop lands with solar panels
in order to enjoy the dual benefits of solar electricity and increased food production.
A new study I
co-authored with my colleague, Uzair Jamil, found that
👍 partial shading to benefit crop production even works when the solar panels do not.
This has interesting policy ramific…

How shading crops with solar panels can improve farming, lower food costs and reduce emissions
Canada can meet its carbon emission reduction targets, make food cheap again and open up a gigantic trade surplus with the U.S. by shading farm crops with solar panels.
