Agrivoltaics as a systems innovation: Multi-dimensional benefits from global studies across climate, agriculture, energy, and ecosystems.

"From this review, it is projected that implementing agrivoltaics across selected crops and countries could potentially result in an additional agricultural yield of over 1800 million tonnes globally. The maximum theoretical nutritional value of this produce is sufficient to meet the dietary requirements of more than 2.1 billion people annually. This presents a significant opportunity to the world in its fight against hunger"

Paris Proves the Power of Pedals: How Cycling Helped Cut Pollution in Half

"Over the past two decades, the French capital has undergone a remarkable transformation — and cyclists are riding at the heart of it. A recent report by Airparif, the independent organization that monitors air quality in the Île-de-France region, delivered the kind of news that would have seemed unimaginable 20 years ago: between 2005 and 2024, levels of nitrogen dioxide and fine particulate matter — two of the most harmful pollutants to human health — have been slashed by 50% and 55%, respectively."

"The bicycle as we know it today, with two similarly sized wheels and a chain drive system, was originally commercialized by John Starley and William Sutton in 1885. And since then, nothing better has been invented in terms of energy efficient travel."
