Shepherding the Future: Agriculture & the Energy Transition
Agriculture and renewable energy have been presented as opposed—but they’re not. Leading independent power producer and agrivoltaics company Silicon Ranch, regenerative rancher Will Harris, and farmer Roxanne Newton are proving agriculture and renewable energy are stronger together. This panel will highlight benefits of the dual use of land for solar and agriculture (agrivoltaics), with Silicon Ranch’s use of managed grazing sheep to control the vegetation under and around solar arrays as a model.
