  1. #Rewilding #GolfCourses, A Right Decision?

    "Golf courses have long been a symbol of #luxury and #exclusivity, occupying vast areas of land around the world. However, concerns over their #environmental impact, high #WaterConsumption, and use of pesticides have led to growing works to repurpose them for more #sustainable purposes.

    "A small but growing trend is emerging, where abandoned or struggling golf courses are being #rewilded, turning them into thriving #ecosystems that benefit both #biodiversity and local communities.

    "From #Scotland to #California, projects are underway to restore these landscapes, transforming carefully manicured greens into #WildflowerMeadows, #woodlands, #wetlands, and #WildlifeCorridors.

    "These works offer a promising way to combat biodiversity loss, reduce water waste, and reconnect people with nature."

  6. Double harvest: #raspberries and #RenewableEnergy - #FruitLogistica

    Excerpts: "Based on current findings, strawberries do not thrive under #SolarPanels, so this combination of crops does not have a promising future. This was the conclusion of a Wageningen University study on fruit cultivation beneath #photovoltaic systems.

    Strawberries grown beneath solar panels with 25 to 50 per cent light transmission experienced a significant drop in yield – by 25 to 30 per cent.

    The situation was quite different for raspberries, however: under solar panels with 40 per cent light transmission, the harvest yield fell by only five per cent, and the quality of the fruit remained unchanged. At the same time, the panels reduced evaporation and water consumption, protecting the berries from burns and heat peaks.

    The scientists also expect positive effects on #WaterConsumption and protection against #ExtremeWeather conditions.

    [...]

    One clear advantage is that raspberries are currently grown under rain protection films that have to be replaced every five to seven years. This equates to a significant amount of plastic that would no longer be required if solar modules were used instead. And they last at least ten years."
