Preserving American farmland through solar Solar and farming can successfully cohabitate.

Geoff Sparrow, the Vice President of Development for Green Lantern Solar, is speaking. There are many surprising connections between solar energy and agriculture that do not immediately appear obvious, and these two sectors can be mutually beneficial. Sprout City Farms, a nonprofit farming organization overseeing crop production under Jack’s Solar Garden photovoltaic systems in Colorado, have a one of its kind opportunity to join forces to discharge their vital problems. One of those problems is deciding on a location for the large-scale solar installations that must be set up to combat global warming and satisfy the nation’s renewable energy ambitions. Solar energy situated in a particular area, with commercial applications and community energy generation, has numerous advantages for the communities that implement it, such as improved air quality, a boost to the local economy, and autonomy in terms of energy production. Rural areas and farming communities can highly benefit from the instalment of local solar energy. In order for that to take place, solar energy businesses have to make sure that these groups of people comprehend the advantages. It is crucial that we demonstrate how solar can assist in tackling some of the most strenuous difficulties encountered by farmers in the present day and their societies. Cultivating has always been a vulnerable industry, and with global warming only making that worse. The worsening and unexpected weather has made it harder to maintain the functioning of family farms and keep rural areas alive. Solar energy can offer a solution to this by tackling the worries of the people within those communities. Large-scale solar energy is not yet well-known or comprehended by many, including its several benefits.
