Information
Agrivoltaism is a new form of production that will help to meet national targets for the production of renewable energy. It is also a genuine way of diversifying cattle and sheep production, in synergy with the latter. In fact, a well thought-out project can bring additional income to the farm, independent of the economic ups and downs of the sector or its health. Agrivoltaism is also a way of adapting to climate change (creating shade, lengthening the grass growth cycle, protecting animals from bad weather, encouraging rotational grazing, protecting troops from predators). These advantages need to be optimised by a preliminary study targeting the current system and enabling this synergy to be created. It is therefore essential to frame these projects properly upstream with experts in livestock production, if this synergy is to succeed. This is also the key to ensuring that these disruptive projects are accepted locally.
