Webinar: Success stories in solar-powered agriculture

On the occasion of the launch of the Coalition for Action report “Solar-powered Agri-food Systems: Seven Success Stories”, this webinar will bring together stakeholders from the energy and agriculture sectors to explore evidence from real-world case studies on business models, financing mechanisms, and enabling policy conditions that support the scaling of renewables in agriculture.

Agri-food systems are a major consumer of energy, primarily derived from fossil fuels, while also being highly susceptible to the impacts of climate change. Transforming both food and energy systems is essential to achieve universal access to nutritious food and affordable energy in alignment with climate and nature goals. Agrivoltaics – the dual land use for solar PV and agricultural production – is an effective tool to address these interconnected challenges. Participants will share practical experiences that highlight the importance of user-centric business models tailored to local circumstances.
