Agrivoltaics is the simultaneous use of land for both solar energy and agriculture. In this system, solar panels shade crops grown underneath them which reduces radiation and water use, while the crops decrease the temperature of the panels making them more efficient in energy production. This research explores the benefits of integrating solar panel technologies on different crops in different climates.

Aquaponics is a food production system that combines breeding fish in tanks while the nutrient-rich water is fed to hydroponically grown plants. The greatest challenge in this system is to make fish breeding an economically viable business by reducing the cost of fish food. The Aquaponics research is progressing, mainly focusing on finding an alternative fish feed to replace the expensive commercial feed used worldwide. The guiding principle for all three research sites is to find an alternative formula that is easy and cheap to produce on site.
