Synergy‐based crop suitability assessment for agrivoltaics: An easy‐to‐use traffic‐light framework for temperate climates

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change and the growing demand for renewable energy are putting increasing pressure on land, as food production and solar power generation often compete for the same areas. In this study, we assessed which temperate‐region crops are best suited for agrivoltaics, a technology combining farming and solar electricity production on the same land. We

Synergistic benefits of agrivoltaics for grape production and solar energy efficiency in a Mediterranean vineyard

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Grapevine production is increasingly challenged by global warming, with global wine output falling to a six‐decade low in 2024. At the same time, the vine and wine sector faces growing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint. Agrivoltaics, which integrates solar photovoltaic (PV) modules into plant production systems, offers a potential pathway to ...

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.

Acceptance of AgriVoltaics - A Multi-Stakeholder Survey for a German AgriVoltaic System in Fruit Farming

AgriVoltaics Conference Proceedings
Public perception of Agri-PV cannot be reliably assessed at this time, in part because the agricultural context and appearance of each Agri-PV system varies widely. Therefore, within the research project "Agri-PV Fruit Growing", a social impact analysis of Agri-PV in a fruit growing region (predominantly apple growing) was carried out in May 2021 and ...

Law and Ethics of Nanotechnology: Traditional Legal Tools Advancing Nanomedicine

physica status solidi (a), Volume 223, Issue 15, 5 August 2026.
Science fiction from the last decades is rapidly becoming science in daily life. For example, nanotechnology does cool things like creating driverless cars for people who are blind and storing solar energy to drive electric cars. Nanotechnology makes possible 3D printing of housing, clothing, and food and miraculous treatments for previously incurable ...

Just Transition Toward Clean Energy Access With Focus on Lead‐Based Perovskite Solar Cell Technology: Lessons, Experiences, and Future Perspectives

Global Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 8, August 2026.
To intentionally mitigate energy poverty in underserved communities, advanced perovskite energy technologies such as lead‐based perovskite solar cells are necessary. However, in future deployment of these materials, energy justice, equity, inclusivity and environmental sustainability must be taken into account.
