The Golden Rock Cancer Awareness Foundation will adopt and cultivate one demonstration agricultural row within the Agrivoltaics Living Lab at the STUCO Solar Park.
This initiative connects community health awareness with sustainable agriculture, highlighting the importance of nutritious food, soil regeneration, and climate-smart farming practices.
The sponsored row will showcase vegetable crops grown under solar panels, demonstrating how renewable energy and agriculture can work together to improve food security, community wellness, and environmental stewardship on St. Eustatius.
The crops will be used for:
• Community education
• Healthy cooking demonstrations
• Awareness activities linking nutrition and cancer prevention
• Agrivoltaics visitor tours and youth education
What is Being Planted
Approximately , 300 vegetable plants will be cultivated in this demonstration row, including crops such as:
• Lettuce
• Kale
• Chives
• Celery
• Sweet Peppers
• Culinary Herbs
These crops will be grown using regenerative soil practices and water-efficient farming techniques under solar panels.
Why This Matters
Healthy food plays an important role in disease prevention and community wellbeing.
This project highlights the connection between:
🌱 Nutrition
🌱 Healthy Soil
🌱 Community Education
🌱 Renewable Energy
🌱 Cancer Awareness and Prevention

Educational Demonstration
Visitors to the STUCO Solar Park Living Lab will learn about:
• Agrivoltaics – farming under solar panels
• Soil regeneration and composting
• Water conservation techniques
• Climate-resilient agriculture for small island communities
Project Support
This agricultural row is supported by:
Golden Rock Cancer Awareness Foundation
Agrivoltaics combines solar energy and food production on the same land, allowing crops to grow beneath solar panels where they benefit from partial shade, water conservation, and soil regeneration practices.
Through this project, volunteers will help establish a healthy lifestyle garden that demonstrates how nutritious vegetables can be grown sustainably to support community health and cancer prevention through improved diet.
The garden will feature leafy greens, herbs, peppers, and nutrient-dense vegetables that encourage residents to eat more fresh foods while learning about innovative farming systems.
