working on agrivoltaics systems at Oregon State University. Specifically, we are trying to develop dual use systems where sheep production can be combined with solar energy production from the same land. See attached the conference paper (Andrew et al.). We
are expecting the full paper to be published in a couple months. I would be happy to connect with Joerg Haas or any other colleagues who may be interested in agrivoltaics systems to discuss this further.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Dear Ann dear Anthony hello, in Morocco we have several wind farms and large stations to produce renewable energy. I visited 2 Wind Farm Site and my tribute is near a solar station being installed. Honestly,
there is nothing to worry about pastoralism, the wind turbines are very high and in no way affect the pastures no more than an electric pole, the pastors graze their herds all around, when at the solar stations , they don't take up a lot of space. they are
also oppurtinites of work for the sons of the pastors. When the energy they produce the pastoralists on the spot does not even see it, on the other hand this energy benefits the whole country, these renewable energy sources are far less harmful than thermal
power stations that run on fuel. I am not a specialist, the people in the field can provide clarifications.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">It is an interesting issue to study as the push for renewable energy takes route. In the Uganda context this has not yet happened as the use of solar Photovoltaic energy is still at microscale basically at household level with one or two
small panels and most often portable ones used for charging phones and radios while grazing livestock in the grazing grounds. I think Kenya may have established some large scale windmills in Turkana, but am not sure how this has affected pastoralists in particular
the main suspects are usually birds that get killed by the propellers. Our colleagues from Turkana could help.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">In Morocco there is a large-scale solar station established but again I am not so sure of how it has influenced the pastoralists especially those raring shots in that country. I would have to try to make linkage with colleagues at Mohammed
VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) at Bengurir and IAV Hassan II; these could perhaps help make some connections that could.lead to some experiences. I will copy Joerg in the communication on Monday.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Hi Ann,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>many thanks - this is interesting.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I'd be interested to hear if you or others on this list have come across instances of land grabbing in semiarid lands for large scale solar farms?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Due to the massive cost decrease of photovoltaics, solar energy derived vom large scale solar farms in the dry tropics and subtropics is now among the cheapest sources of electricity. This is a good thing, given the climate emergency that we are facing.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>But I worry what this means for the land rights of pastoralists in arid and semi-arid regions? Are they going to be pushed aside for the purpose of energy generation?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>How could the interests of pastoralist and the interests of renewable energy generation to avoid climate breakdown be reconciled? Do best practices exist, code of conducts, etc.?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Best<o:p></o:p></p>
