This is a context where technological solutions from the renewable energy and agricultural sectors are tested.<\/p>\n<p>Akren&#8217;s activities focus on areas characterized by high marginality and limited agricultural potential, avoiding competition with agriculturally more productive lands and targeting territories with agricultural and energy poverty. The goal is to reclaim poorly productive or no longer productive land for agricultural purposes due to their marginality and advancing desertification.<\/p>\n<p>This approach allows for the development of greater resilience in rural communities by improving the economic, environmental, and social sustainability of entire territories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IFAB expands its team by welcoming Akren Group, a company that develops agri-voltaic systems that can improve the energy sustainability of farms and make them more productive and resilient to climate change.
