Should Farmland Grow Crops, Host Solar Panels - or Do Both?

With growing needs for both renewable energy and food production, experts are debating whether farmland should focus solely on crops, be used for solar panel installations, or combine both through agrivoltaics. Agrivoltaics, the practice of integrating solar panels with crop cultivation, offers a potential solution, allowing farmers to produce food while generating clean energy. This approach could address environmental concerns and support sustainable agriculture while meeting increasing energy and food demands.
