Threats to agriculture from climate change have been explored by many authors. This ultimately sends shockwaves to the food market and adversely impacts food security domestically and abroad. It is no wonder that agriculture has likewise stepped up to face the impending perils. One way by which agriculture can help delay a looming climate menace is through agrivoltaics, the co-location of agricultural operation and energy production. 

We propose to investigate the issues surrounding the promotion of agrivoltaics in Taiwan. Previous research explored the technical feasibility of agrivoltaics. But such projects inevitably involve the local community, and thus entails both technological and social transformation. We intend to do in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with various stakeholders. Afterwards, we will perform a qualitative stakeholder analysis and a quantitative assessment of agrivoltaics’ impact on different sectors through GEMTEE (General Equilibrium Model for Taiwanese Economy and Environment) baseline forecasting and policy simulations. Furthermore, we will draw implications for the Spatial Planning Act of Taiwan and propose policy recommendations informed by inputs from stakeholders. 

This project also aims to extend the GEMTEE for integrated assessment of climate change impact and policy response in Taiwan. We will join the Food, Agriculture, Biodiversity, Land-Use, and Energy (FABLE) Consortium as a FABLE TAIWAN team and design sustainability pathways forward considering Taiwan’s national context. Moreover, a “participatory” approach will be employed to design the science-policy interfaces for multi-level governance decision support framework, incorporating several trans- boundary issues on knowledge transfer. Participatory and inclusive approaches to food system transitions help recognize the inevitability of trade-offs, with winners and losers, and realize more just pathways. The project’s ultimate beneficiaries are people who potentially benefit the most from the sustainable development of green energy.

許多作者已探討氣候變遷對農業的威脅。這最終向食品市場發出震盪波，並對國內外的糧食安全產生不利影響。難怪農業也開始加強應對即將到來的危機。農業延緩氣候威脅的一種方式是「農電共生」，即農業與能源生產在同一區域的共同作業。

我們提議調查台灣推廣農電共生的相關議題。先前的研究探討了其技術可行性，但此類專案不可避免涉及在地社區，因此需要同時進行技術和社會層面的轉型。我們計劃與各利益相關者進行深度訪談和焦點團體討論。之後，我們將進行定性利益相關者分析，並透過 GEMTEE（台灣經濟與環境一般均衡模型）的基線預測和政策模擬，以進行農電共生對不同部門的影響之量化評估。此外，我們將為台灣的《國土計畫法》提出相關啟示，並根據利益相關者的意見提出政策建議。

本計劃還旨在延伸GEMTEE，以便對氣候變遷影響和政策回應進行綜合評估。我們將組合「FABLE TAIWAN 團隊」，而加入FABLE 聯盟，即「食品、農業、生物多樣性、土地利用與能源」，並考慮台灣的國情來設計可持續發展的路徑。此外，本計劃將採用「參與式」方法設計多層次治理決策支持框架的科學政策界面，納入多個跨界議題以促進知識轉移。參與式和包容性方法對於食品系統轉型有助於認識到權衡取捨的必然性，理解轉型中的利益得失，並實現更加公正的發展路徑。本計劃的最終受益者是那些可能從綠色能源的可持續發展中受益最大的人群。
