Agroforestry and Agrivoltaics

[Brett Chedzoy]

Silvopastures have a higher-than-average efficiency amongst agroforestry system thanks to the added benefits of livestock converting plant biomass in to valuable products like meat, milk, fiber.  Here's a new twist of adding photovoltaic panels in to the mix.  Perhaps of limited practicality for a silvopasture operation due to the infrastructure requirements, but some interesting examples of the benefits of growing crops in the shade of trees and/or panels.
