Fresno Visalia, CA, November 2, 2026 — A national organization focused on agricultural management and appraisal is set to delve into the growing field of agrivoltaics. The American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers (ASFMRA) announced it will host an online webinar dedicated to the integration of solar energy systems with agricultural production. The event is scheduled for November 18th.
The webinar aims to provide insights and strategies for farmers and land managers looking to implement dual-use land practices. Agrivoltaics, the co-location of solar panels and agricultural activities on the same land, is an emerging trend that seeks to optimize land use and generate multiple revenue streams.
According to the announcement, the online session will explore various facets of this integrated approach. Key topics slated for discussion include effective methods for managing land, water, and energy resources when both solar arrays and crops are present. The event is expected to cover considerations for specific crop pairings that can thrive under or alongside solar installations, as well as strategies for promoting resource conservation within these dual-use systems.
Furthermore, the ASFMRA’s webinar is anticipated to touch upon the potential community benefits that can arise from successful agrivoltaics projects. These could encompass economic advantages, enhanced local energy resilience, and contributions to environmental sustainability goals.
The ASFMRA represents professionals who manage and appraise agricultural properties. The organization regularly offers educational resources and professional development opportunities for its members and the broader agricultural community. The focus on agrivoltaics signals the organization’s attention to evolving trends within the farm management and land use sectors.
Further details regarding registration and specific speakers for the November 18th webinar were not immediately available in the provided summary.
