Living Labs
The mission of AgriPV-Nexus is to catalyse a sustainable agroecological transition in Mediterranean smallholder farming systems by integrating nature-based, technological, digital, and socio-economic innovations.
By establishing real-world Living Labs in Portugal, Morocco, Tunisia, and Türkiye, the project aims to co-develop climate-resilient, site-specific agroecological practices enhanced by agrivoltaics.
OBJECTIVES
01
Co-developing optimal combinations of agroecological practices
via agrivoltaic LLs: A catalyst for integrated climate-resilient small-scale farming in the Mediterranean.
02
Integrating agroecological practices with agrivoltaics
to demonstrate their climate mitigation, adaptation, and biodiversity co-benefits while advancing the resilience of Mediterranean farming.
03
Demonstrating and quantifying environmental benefits and soil organic carbon (SOC) stock
of integrated agroecological-agrivoltaic farming systems.
to support the scaling of agroecology, agrivoltaics, and carbon farming across the Mediterranean by aligning national strategies with the WEFE nexus and identifying regulatory, financial, and institutional enablers.
