If Germany’s energy system is to become greenhouse gas neutral by 2045, the use of renewable energy must be expanded at a much faster rate. In this context, agri-PV systems are an innovative solution to meet our climate targets because they improve land use efficiency: solar panels mounted above agricultural land generate electricity while crops grow underneath.

In fruit and wine growing, agrivoltaic systems can provide additional benefits by shielding crops from adverse weather conditions such as hailstorms. They can also reduce evapotranspiration, mitigate the effects of late frosts, and prevent fruit ...

The unique terraced landscape along the Upper Middle Rhine Valley used to be widely known for its abundance of vineyards and orchards, but the scene has changed over the last decades which is clearly reflected by the many fallow areas along the Rhine and its side valleys. How can we preserve the unique historic landscape and make it fit for the future? As part of the project “Landschaftsmosaik Welterbe Oberes Mittelrheintal”, the KULT Center of Excellence at Hochschule Geisenheim University addresses these questions and explores strategies for a sustainable development of the region in cooperation with the local community. In addition to analyzing which areas require action, the aim is to identify sample solutions and put them into practice.
