Researchers suggest that soil biology could hold the key to more sustainable nitrogen use in Canadian winter wheat farming. The finding points to the potential of harnessing natural soil processes to reduce synthetic fertiliser inputs, a major cost and emissions source in agriculture. It is drawing attention among those following sustainable farming and crop science.

EWS reports winter wheat yields 14% higher at its Austrian agrivoltaic site, where solar panels are installed over farmland. The findings are being cited as evidence that renewables and agriculture can work together, with similar integration possible for trees in livestock, horticulture and arable systems through agroforestry, so farming and energy generation need not compete for land.
