What happens when you combine agriculture with solar energy? You get #agrivoltaics—a sustainable way to grow crops while generating solar power! ⚡ See how OSU students are pioneering the future of sustainable farming: blogs.oregonstate.edu/ecolog… #FutureOfFarming @OregonStateBEE

Years of industrial activity & a changing climate have created a situation where harmful cyanobacteria can build up in the Ross Island Lagoon, impacting humans and animals. OSU has joined with other nonprofit, public and private partners to chart a path toward a solution.

OSU's Chad Higgins is using his expertise on #agrivoltaics, consulting on a $500 million solar project in Wyoming. They are looking to install a 500 megawatt solar farm while also keeping the land for grazing and sheepherding practices. @OregonStateBEE cowboystatedaily.com/2024/02…

OSU's study of #agrivoltaics in beef #cattle farming showcases the dual benefits of generating renewable energy while providing shade for livestock. Ranchers are choosing to integrate solar panels into their grazing lands. @OregonStateBEE pv-magazine-usa.com/2023/06/…

I am looking for another MS student to work on a WRRI project that will enhance constructed wetland treatment using biochar, aeration, and duckweed.  I would be open to either an August 2023 or January 2024 start. Let me know if you or someone you know are interested!

Can’t learn river engineering without being on the river you’ve used as a case study all term, right? #EcologicalEngineering #Engineering #OregonState #OutThere – at Corvallis, OR
Just another day in the office for @desiree_tullos & our #EcologicalEngineering students in our program! Students rafted & met stakeholders understand the intertwined social, economic, #energy, #food, #water, & environmental systems in #Oregon @OSUAgSci @EngineeringOSU

KGW recently interviewed OSU's Chad Higgins about renewable energy resources using Agrivoltaics—a method combining agriculture & solar energy in a mutually-beneficial system. His research has shown positives for crops, clean energy, and it's profitable!☀️ kgw.com/article/tech/science…

Great feature on agrivoltaics ☀️
#solar #Energy <> #Agriculture Nexus! Don't miss Chad Higgins talking #Agrivoltaics with KGW News. Integrated production of food & energy is a win-win, and Chad's group is leading the charge in #Oregon. #OutThere @OSUAgSci youtu.be/1EehNqjpVlw

.@OregonState Global Hemp Innovation Center's Jeffery Steiner thinks a lot more research on this promising crop is needed. “We need an entire lifecycle analysis before we can know how much this crop can actually sequester.” #Hemp #AgSci @OSUGlobalHemp time.com/6268420/hemp-climat…
