Future strategies for sustainability and quality of life!

Geisenheim (Hesse).  From 16 to 17 July 2023, an industry meeting with the head of the institute, Prof. Dr. Manfred Stoll, took place at the "VitiVoltaic" research laboratory at Geisenheim University (HGU), Institute for General and Organic Viticulture.

True to the motto "Green power above - white Riesling below", the first plant of its kind in Germany will be opened - the HGU's Agri-Photovoltaic plant. This is a dual use of agricultural land by growing vines under solar modules and generating its own electricity at the same time. As part of the research project, the VitiVoltaic vineyard was equipped with the HEM-SYSTEM Wine Frost Control^®late frost heating system.

The event took place outdoors on the grounds of the APV trial facility.
