Renewable energy is energy derived from natural sources that are replenished at a higher rate than they are consumed. Sunlight and wind, for example, are such sources that are constantly being replenished. (...) Solar technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy either through photovoltaic panels or through mirrors that concentrate solar radiation.

Agroforestry can be an efficient land use that is capable of producing more goods on a given area of land than other systems; for example, the several vegetation layers in agroforestry systems can use sunlight, water and nutrients more efficiently than the single layers of monocultural crops. (...) Trees may compete with food crops for space, sunlight, moisture and nutrients, thereby reducing crop yields. (...) Management changes may be required when, for example:
trees start competing with crops for space, sunlight and nutrients;
markets for products change; and
there are changes in labour requirements or availability.

Seaweed as a Nature-based Solution for Climate Change
Event date:
06 Nov 2021 - 02:15 to 03:30
Location:
Glasgow, UK (Hybrid Event)
Description
Seaweed provides an unlimited number of solutions to support food systems, to provide new medicines, to replaces plastics, restore biodiversity & clean the ocean and provide new source of revenues to communities where fishing is declining. Seaweed is also one of the most scalable nature-based solutions for both decarbonizing the economy and sequestering carbon from the surface of the ocean. As it grows in the sunlight zone of the ocean, seaweed fixes carbon through photosynthetic primary production. grow up to 50 cm per day and to lengths of up to 60 m fixing carbon at rates even more productive than tropical rainforests.

Under section VI – B. Nature of produce
This section lists a number of terms used to describe the different citrus species covered by
the marketing standard and which may/shall be used for labelling purposes.
(...) In addition, the juice of Navels becomes bitter after a
short standing time due to its content of limonin glucoside, which decomposes to limonin
under sunlight. In this respect, the labelling "juice oranges" on (small calibre) oranges of the
Navel group is to be objected to as misleading.

Are vitamin D supplements needed if individuals are not exposed to sunlight due to lockdowns?
Vitamin D can be made in the skin by exposure to sunlight or obtained through the diet from natural sources (e.g. fatty fishes such as salmon, tuna and mackerel, fish liver oils, beef liver, cheese and egg yolks), or from vitamin D-fortified foods or vitamin D-containing supplements.
In situations where individuals’ vitamin D status is already marginal or where foods rich in vitamin D (including vitamin D-fortified foods) are not consumed, and exposure to sunlight is limited, a vitamin D supplement in doses of the recommended nutrient intakes (200-600 IU, depending on age) or according to national guidelines may be considered.

Well from an African perspective, I believe FLW can be addressed through the processing of such foods by natural means (drying). Most African countries are blessed with abundant sunlight.
