From Spain to Texas and India to England, solar projects are encroaching on prime agricultural land. Farmers and ranchers are fighting back.
In this mini-documentary, author and film producer Robert Bryce shows how the unchecked expansion of solar energy is paving over some of the world’s best farmland. In this 10-minute film, Bryce -- who has been reporting on land-use conflicts over alternative energy for 15 years -- talks to farmers and ranchers in Central Texas who are trying to protect the Blackland Prairie from the encroachment of massive solar projects. The film exposes the staggering scale of these giant projects, the global backlash against the solar industry, and emphasizes the importance of preserving agricultural land for future generations.
