The nine ventures selected for funding develop innovations in agriculture, energy and industry and will receive between €320,000 and €500,000

Researchers at the University of Cambridge say they have demonstrated the use of such solar panels to generate electricity and produce ‘nutritionally-superior’ crops simultaneously

The climate under the panels is thought to be more stable for the crops than under conventional plastic arches, a pilot study shows

The Environmental Land Management scheme will pay for public goods including improved air, water and soil quality and climate change mitigation

The agriculture, livestock farming, waste and fossil fuel sectors are the largest sources of methane, according to a new report

The researchers say this disparity in impact and perception highlights the difficulties of ‘conscientious consumption’ and note consumers lack objective guidance on the environmental impacts of crop production

The funding will provide the Aussie farming industry with equipment to reduce energy consumption

The announcement comes as part of a new roadmap to make farming and agriculture more sustainable

That’s the suggestion from Pasi Vainikka, Co-Founder and CEO of Solar Foods who spoke to ELN about the pioneering discovery of a protein produced from CO2 using clean power

The initiative aims to connect suppliers with regulators and prioritise recycling through anaerobic digestion over other types of disposal such as energy recovery, incineration and landfill
