Description

The Leibniz Center for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF) e. V. intends to commission a survey of citizens in the Berlin-Brandenburg region on the subject of "Attitudes towards agrivoltaics and energy production". Service descriptionAs part of the BMBF-funded research project "Syn-Agri-PV" (Synergetic integration of photovoltaics in agriculture as a contribution to a successful energy transition - networking and support for the market ramp-up of agrivoltaics in Germany), a representative survey of citizens living in the Berlin-Brandenburg region is to be conducted. The aim of the survey is to ascertain citizens' attitudes towards agrivoltaics, the opportunities and risks and the necessary framework conditions for the practical implementation of agrivoltaic projects/plants from the population's perspective. The survey is to be carried out as a telephone study (Computer Aided Telephone Interview - CATI with dual-frame sample). In order to achieve the goal of greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045, a rapid expansion of renewable energies is planned in Germany. Agri-photovoltaics offers a promising solution and an opportunity for both agriculture and the energy transition. Agri-photovoltaics describes the combined production of solar energy and food on the same area of land and thus represents a new form of land use. The basic population for the survey consists of all people aged 18 or over living in Berlin and the state of Brandenburg at the time of the survey.
