Distributed Renewable Energy (DRE) can revolutionize Africa's agricultural sector, creating a sustainable, low-emission food system. 🌱 Leveraging the Productive use of Renewable Energy such as Solar Power Pumps for irrigation towards agroforestry aids to combat desertification, restore ecosystems, and reduce land degradation which is a plus. 💪 When ecosystems are restored, they provide several benefits for food security, including increased crop yields, improved water availability, and reduced land degradation. This year’s #WorldEnvironmentDay serves as a stark reminder that we all are #GenerationRestoration. #SDG7 #EnergyAccess #EndEnergyPovertyFaster #SDG2 #PoweringAgriculture #PoweringJobs

How we integrate #solarpv into farmland: The vertical alignment of bifacial modules makes it possible to embed solar systems in existing infrastructures in a space-saving manner. The installation in Northern California in the photo shows that Sunzaun - Vertical Solar panels can produce renewable energy between the vines. The farm can continue to operate without any interruptions. The farmer's ecological and economic resilience is strengthened.

Citizen Panel on Bioenergy in Wieselburg After the first round took place in July 2023, the second part of a citizen panel on bioenergy took place in the premises of BEST - Bioenergy and Sustainable Technologies GmbH in Wieselburg Mid- February. These citizen panels are carried out in four states of the EU, namely Austria, Bulgaria, Italy and Sweden. Last summer the citizens created visions, that should represent their thoughts on Just Transition and Social Innovation and bioenergy in the context of agriculture and forestry. In fall and winter the developed visions were discussed with experts in Brussel and online and 14 policy recommendations were elaborated. These policy recommendations were now presented to the citizens, discussed, evaluated and ranked by the participants. The 5 Top ranked recommendations by Austrian citizens are: 1.      Promote education on bioenergy and biomass in schools. 2.      Mandatory education courses in schools on the topic of climate change and its consequences. 3.      Introduce tax or consumer incentives to promote a certain kind of behavior (such as collecting biomass). 4.      Work on improving waste policy so that the regulations are easier to follow and make sense from an economic and societal point of view. 5.      Ensure appropriate services are in place on a national level to fill any knowledge gaps on the procedures related to local bioenergy solutions.
