Benefits of agriphotovoltaics use and regulation presented in the agricultural school
About this good practice
In Serbia is insufficient knowledge about the use and benefits of agriphotovoltaics. This is especially in underdeveloped parts like the municipality of Bac which lies in the west-north region of Vojvodina next to the Croatian border making it very isolated,
That was the reason for organizing a conference within the agricultural school of Bac to get acquainted with the new technology of agriphotovoltaics and best practice of it in EU countries. The school is the place where the farmers, the parents of the pupils gather. The experts from EAGER project and other stakeholders were invited to present their knowledge about APVs to professors and the audience: pupils, farmers, and people from the energy sector, as well as decision-makers from the local community. The goals of the conference were education, training, and raising awareness about the importance of regulation for APVs.

Evidence of success
This is a good practice because it was in the rural area where is important to keep people and they could hear the opportunity to be besides farmers also energy provider.
The interest was very big, many pupils were present, also famers, decision-nmakers, people from the energy sector. We had many questions and they offered land for a pilot project and asked for the next conference with training
Potential for learning or transfer
This is a very good practice for other region why we promote the benefits of APVs to pupils who are young and should use them soon. Also, parents are farmers and they like to come to the school and especially to be involved in school activities. This was a good place for promotion and result to make a pilot project and demand for the next conference were good results and signs that the APVs will be adopted in their practices.
