Agrivoltaics: A Win-Win Strategy Against Climate Change

2025-03-03

A new study reveals that combining solar power generation with agriculture significantly boosts crop yields, conserves water, and generates low-carbon electricity for climate-vulnerable regions. This method, known as agrivoltaics, creates a microclimate by shading crops with solar panels, enabling plants like beans and maize to thrive with less irrigation. Agrivoltaics also provides clean energy for rural communities, addressing food insecurity, water scarcity, and energy poverty. The research found that partial shade reduces water evaporation, improving water use efficiency, and allows for rainwater harvesting to supplement irrigation.

150,000-Year-Old Evidence of Humans in African Rainforests Rewrites History

2025-03-03

A groundbreaking study published in Nature pushes back the timeline of human habitation in African rainforests to an astonishing 150,000 years ago. Researchers used luminescence and electron spin resonance dating techniques on sediments containing Middle Stone Age tools found in Côte d'Ivoire. This discovery predates previous evidence by 80,000 years, challenging the long-held belief that rainforests acted as barriers to human expansion. The findings support the theory of human evolution across diverse habitats and provide a new understanding of early human adaptation and migration.
