John Piotti: It’s essential that we increase our #solar energy production. The DOE estimates up to 90% of the 10M acres of new solar development that is likely by 2030 could be sited on farmland adding to the loss of #farmland that is already too great.

For #solar energy to succeed, it needs to co-exist with #agriculture. When combined with threats from sprawl and low-density development—which are highlighted in AFT’s #FarmsUnderThreat report—the conversion of ag land for non-agricultural uses is a real concern.

We have to be careful here, and not replace one form of solar energy production for another, namely, photosynthesis. Simply put, we need to BOTH increase #solar production and retain our farmland, especially our most productive, versatile, and resilient #farmland.
