Xavier Yvon: At the start of the year, the La Loupe team is celebrating an anniversary: ​​a year ago, almost to the day, we were broadcasting our new Friday format for the first time…

This format, you know it, is the wardrobe of La Loupe… A slightly shorter podcast, thought as a complement to the other episodes of the week, to define a complex but essential term, such as blockchain or Kurdistan…

And since we created it, we sometimes find ourselves faced with a problem. A problem for the rich, but a problem all the same: it happens that a journalist comes to talk to us about a subject… That we all say to ourselves that it’s a very good idea for a podcast… But a difficult dilemma arises: do we make it a wardrobe or a complete episode of La Loupe?

This is exactly what happened for our subject of the day. Lucas Mediavilla, our specialist in energy-related issues here at L’Express, pushed the door of the studio by offering to talk to us about agrivoltaism, a booming mix between agriculture and electricity production…

“Agrivoltaism” sounded good for a La Loupe cupboard… Except that Lucas was inexhaustible… He wanted to talk about “agricultural canopies”, photosynthesis and the threats hanging over France’s food sovereignty… So you got it : the dilemma was quickly resolved.
