  • Lamb Growth and Seasonal Herbage Production from Simple, Diverse, and Legume Pastures Established in an Agrivoltaic System

    Creator:
    Andrew, Alyssa C.
    Abstract:
    Agrivoltaic systems promote dual use of land by combining solar energy and agricultural production. Grazing sheep in these systems is popular but research on intentionally designed pastures to increase production is lacking. This study seeks to compare the herbage growth and lamb production in simple, diverse, and legume pasture mixes...

  • Leveraging the Food-Energy-Water Nexus for Planet Resilience

    Creator:
    Steadman, Casey L.
    Abstract:
    We have sufficient evidence that our historical management of natural resources is not sustainable. Food production is stagnating or declining. Nonrenewable energy sources on which the energy sector has historically depended are being rapidly depleted. Water resources, for which the energy and food sectors compete, are being depleted and impaired....

  • Harvesting Sunshine: A Modular Integrated Framework for Modeling the Agrivoltaic System

    Creator:
    Proctor, Kyle W.
    Abstract:
    Understanding the interplay between energy and water is central to effective natural resource management. With enough energy it is possible to secure sufficient water, with enough water it is possible to produce nearly boundless energy. The sun is the engine which drives the availability of both these resources; nearly every...
