Rising demand for solar power generation will lead to increased land use competition, and thus potential economic social conflict. A solution this challenge is produce food energy within an agrophotovoltaics (APV) system. Since 2017, governments in Japan, France, Massachusetts (USA), South Korea, China have introduced policies supporting APV implementation. Governments considering implementation – e.g. India Germany evidence-based policy making are demanding information on how levelized cost...
Abstract Agrivoltaic (AV) systems integrate the production of agricultural crops and electric power on same land area through installation solar panels several meters above soil surface. It has been demonstrated that AV can increase productivity contribute to expansion renewable energy production. Its utilization is expected affect crop by altering microclimatic conditions but so far hardly investigated. The present study aimed determine for first time how changes in selected within an...
The growing bioeconomy will require a greater supply of biomass in the future for both bioenergy and bio-based products. Today, many cropping systems (BCS) are suboptimal due to either social-ecological threats or technical limitations. In addition, competition land between bioenergy-crop cultivation, food-crop biodiversity conservation is expected increase as result continuous world population growth severe climate change effects. This study investigates how BCS can become more...
Agrivoltaic (AV) systems increase land productivity through the combined production of renewable energy and food. Although several studies have addressed their impact on crop production, many aspects remain unexplored. The objective this study was to determine effects AV cultivation celeriac, a common root vegetable in Central Europe. Celeriac cultivated 2017 2018 as part an organically managed on-farm experiment, both underneath system full-sun conditions. Under AV, photosynthetic active...
The demand for food and renewable energy is increasing significantly, whereas the availability of land agricultural use declining. Agrivoltaic systems (AVS), which combine production with solar generation on same area, are a promising opportunity potential to satisfy this while avoiding land-use conflicts. In current study, Consequential Life-Cycle Assessment (CLCA) was conducted holistically assess environmental consequences arising from shift single-use agriculture AVS in Germany. results...
Abstract Climate change is expected to decrease water availability in many agricultural production areas around the globe. At same time renewable energy concepts such as agrivoltaics (AV) are necessary manage transition. Several studies showed that evapotranspiration can be reduced AV systems, resulting increased for crops. However, effects on crop performance and productivity remain unclear date. Carbon‐13 isotopic composition (δ 13 C discrimination against carbon‐13) used a proxy of plant...
Substituting mineral fertilizers with novel biobased (BBFs) produced from various organic waste and side streams could contribute to a reduction in the environmental climate impacts of fertilizer production use recycling otherwise potentially wasted nutrients. For substitution be beneficial for farmers, environment, food security, BBFs need effective, reliable safe. However, agronomic performance novel, nitrogen (N) rich has not yet been well studied. The main objective this study was...
Abstract This study reviews a variety of “bioeconomy approaches” (BAs) to assess their potential contribution resilience in agricultural systems, focusing on benefits that can improve multi‐functionality regarding private and public goods. It is based Meuwissen et al.'s framework the farming systems. Drawing literature expert knowledge, this indicator adapted develop new which then applied seven contrasting BAs (miscanthus, perennial flowering wild plant mixtures, permanent grassland,...
Three phosphorus (P) fertilizer fractions recycled from biogas digestates were tested alone and in combination for their efficiency two agricultural surface soils with different pH: a silty sandy loam clay loam. The experiments carried out pots under greenhouse conditions, using mineral triple superphosphate (TSP) as reference. Maize was cultivated 50 days, followed by ryegrass cultivation an additional 84 days the same soil, without fertilization. variables investigated above-ground plant...
Novel recycled fertilizers could help close environmental nutrient cycles in the circular economy. To better understand their performance and residual value, commercially available biobased nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) (BBFs) were tested a two-year crop cycle of winter wheat ryegrass. The N fertilizer replacement value N-BBFs ranged from 47 to 80% main crop. Not all BBFs led similarly high concentration mineral reference straw. However, full early fertilization with incorporation make...
Abstract For political and environmental reasons, there is an urgent need for alternatives to energy-intensive synthetic fertilizers. One solution the targeted recycling of nutrients within agriculture. In this study, liquid ammonium sulphate (LAS) as a product derived from digestate treatment was compared calcium nitrate, manure original digestates in on-farm experiment using participatory approach. Based on regular meetings with farmers involved, flexible experimental design developed...
Biogas production is a key renewable energy pathway for more sustainable future bioeconomy. However, there crucial trade-off between biomass productivity and social-ecological sustainability of available biogas cropping systems. Permanent grassland has been frequently promoted as promising perennial system production. Three- four-cut regimes are usually the highest-yielding thus preferable A three-year field trial in southwest Germany investigated yield biochemical composition mesotrophic...
