Solar power can be a land-hungry competitor to farming. But deployed in the right way, solar installations can boost crop yields, save water, and protect biodiversity. Land is a finite resource, facing huge demands from a growing population that clamors for living space and food.
Farming, meanwhile, is beset by soil degradation, water shortages, plummeting biodiversity, and climate change. The use of a photovoltaic awning produces energy while sheltering crops, such as these apples. Such solar setups cost more, but could have myriad benefits.
