Energy Policy for Agrivoltaics in Alberta Canada

Energies, 2022
As Alberta increases conventional solar power generation, land-use conflicts with agriculture increase. A solution that enables low-carbon electricity generation and continued (in some cases, increased) agricultural output is the co-locating of solar ...

What Is the Role of Personas in Environmental Sustainability Studies? A Systematic Review of 36 Research Articles

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT User personas are important tools for user understanding in human‐computer interaction (HCI), and understanding how personas contribute to environmental sustainability across research and practice contexts is increasingly important. Our systematic review of 36 articles on persona research in environmental sustainability reveals four key ...

Agrivoltaic Lettuce Production Under Future Climates: A Sustainable Strategy for Optimizing Food and Energy Yields

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food system resilience is increasingly challenged by climate change and global trade volatility, even in high‐income nations like Canada. Agrivoltaics—co‐locating crops and photovoltaics (PV)–offers a sustainable production strategy to optimize land use and address both food and energy security.

Multi‐Induction Strategies in Crops: Mechanisms, Synergistic Effects, and Sustainable Applications for Enhanced Secondary Metabolite Production

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.
This review analyzes single/combined abiotic (light, water, nutrients, hormones) and biotic (microbes, yeast) elicitors regulating signaling, gene expression, and metabolism to boost plant secondary metabolites. It highlights synergistic multielicitor strategies for crop quality and functional foods, while critically addressing current limitations and ...

Intelligent Control Strategy of a Battery Energy Storage for a Climate‐Controlled Greenhouse with a High Proportion of Local Renewable Energy

IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Volume 21, Issue 7, Page 1020-1027, July 2026.
Greenhouse cultivation offers the advantage of controlled growth conditions, leading to enhanced crop productivity and quality. However, maintaining these optimal conditions requires substantial energy, resulting in increased greenhouse gas emissions and operational costs. Integrating local renewable energy sources, particularly photovoltaic (PV) solar
