This report describes the strategic installation of an advanced agrivoltaic system on a 0.5-hectare plot inside a 30-hectare diversified farm in Montalto Pavese, Oltrepo Pavese, Italy. Integrated with peppermint farming, the suggested system seeks to reach total farm energy self- sufficiency by 2025 including on-site green hydrogen generation for agricultural equipment. Through water conservation and soil protection, this project will improve resource management; it will also create twin income sources from crop yields and electricity sales, so strengthening climate resilience.

Strawberries have been cultivated for centuries, with modern domestication beginning in the 18th century. While strawberries are predominantly cultivated in outdoor fields, doing so comes with limitations such as seasonality, pests, and diseases, restricting production and reducing crop yields. Protected soilless strawberry cultivation began gaining traction in Japan in the 1980s and 1990s, as a means to extend the growing season to meet consumer demand. With the effects of climate change and soil-borne diseases limiting the diversity of suitable outdoor cultivars, indoor cultivation differentiates itself through increased flexibility, allowing growers to prioritize varieties with superior flavor, quality, and consistency.

Pyroligneous acid (PA) is a synergistic mix of organic acids, phenols, and other biomolecules that boost seed germination, plant development, and soil productivity. Extensive academic research and crop trials have validated the positive impact on plants and soil. PA is cost-effective and can be produced in substantial quantities from agricultural and forestry waste. Furthermore, PA is typically produced within a process that generates renewable biomass energy and biochar, providing durable CO₂ removal and helping to reverse climate change.
