Agriculture: The practice of growing plants, animals, or fungi for human needs, including food, fuel, chemicals, and medications.
Agrivoltaics: A form of mixed agriculture that combines food production (plant crops and/or livestock) with electricity generation. This concept merges agriculture with solar power generation using materials such as solar panels to harness current from sunlight.
Crops: Plants intentionally grown by farmers for consumption or sale, such as corn, coffee, and tomatoes. Alternatively, the term can refer to plants harvested and sold by farmers.
Herbs: Seed plants that do not have long-lived woody stems or branches, and typically die at the end of the growing season. Herbs are often used for culinary or medicinal purposes due to their aroma, flavor, or therapeutic properties.
Insects: Adult arthropods with six segmented legs and three body parts (head, thorax, abdomen), including bees, beetles, flies, and moths among thousands of species.
Livestock: Animals raised for meat and dairy production, such as cows, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, and geese. In some cases, agricultural insects are also referred to as miniature livestock.
Moisture: Small amount of water present in the form of steam in the air, water droplets on surfaces, or within clothing and soil.
Solar Power Generation: The process of converting sunlight into electricity using specific techniques or materials.
Pollination: The transfer of pollen (male germ cells) from the male to the female part of a flower, enabling fertilization and seed production in plants.
Solar: Pertaining to the sun or its radiation, derived from the Latin word Sol.
Solar Energy: Energy derived from sunlight that can be converted into heat or electrical energy. Wind power is sometimes considered a form of solar energy as it is influenced by temperature changes caused by solar heating of the atmosphere, land, and water surfaces.
Solar: The star at the center of the Earth’s solar system, located approximately 27,000 light years from the Milky Way galaxy’s center. The term is also used to refer to stars similar to our sun.
Technology: The application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, involving the development of devices, processes, and systems to improve various industries.
