Triple the Impact of Solar Farming Research
About this campaign
Building Pathways for Rural Resilience and Food Production
Across the country, farmers and solar developers are eager to collaborate, but critical gaps in data, tools, and policy are slowing progress for dual-use farming (agrivoltaics, agrisolar, agri-energy).
The HARVEST Research Project is changing that. By supporting a team of graduate students from the University of Michigan, in partnership with Michigan State University Extension and the United Agrivoltaics Heartland Alliance (UAHA), your gift helps remove real-world barriers to solar grazing and dual-use agriculture.
This campaign fuels student-led research that delivers practical, equity-centered solutions for the industry, like insurer-ready risk tools, farmer case studies, and financial models for underserved producers. Without funding, students can only participate part-time during the critical summer 2026 session. With your support, they’ll triple capacity to produce high-impact tools during Summer 2026, accelerating solutions for solar dual-use farming adoption across the Midwest and beyond.
Your gift supports both a skilled, sustainability-focused workforce, and the farmers and developers building the future of clean energy.
Join us today in making solar farming fair, feasible, and financially sustainable- for everyone!
