===== Agrivoltaics pairs solar panels with farming, solving multiple climate-caused problems ===== | |||
[https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2022/7/21/2111772/-Agrivoltaics-pairs-solar-panels-with-farming-solving-multiple-climate-caused-problems by April Siese 21/7/22 DAILY KOS] | |||
Oregon State agriculture professor Chad Higgins explains how solar panels have already helped the university’s research farm crops amidst the current heat wave gripping more than 100 million Americans. “What they do is what we do when we’re out in the sun: we sweat,” Higgins told OPR. | |||

Some sections got 20 tons of rock dust per acre, while others got 40, allowing the researchers to get a more fine-tuned picture of the relationship between the dust, the soil, and the crops. The research adds to a growing body of scientific work showing the potential for these soil amendments to become one of the many measures needed to help solve our climate crisis. | [[File:LC3M-basalt-spreading-Energy-Farm-Illinois.jpg|center|thumb| [https://e360.yale.edu/features/how-adding-rock-dust-to-soil-can-help-get-carbon-into-the-ground?fbclid=IwAR0a3-HCFxXL1GobAqnprWxO7tOcNfLc-dKs5vJwTzpe-POBl-6Oa8WtVeU BY SUSAN COSIER • SEPTEMBER 2, 2021 Yale Environment360]]] The hemp field experiments go beyond testing which amendments increase yields and sequester carbon and examine how much rock dust should be applied for best results.
