What We Are Reading Today: ‘Agri-Energy’ by Rebekah M. Pierce

Most people don’t think of agriculture when they hear the term “solar farm” or “wind farm.” In fact, many fear that renewable energy installations are eating up prime farmland and threatening natural areas.

But what if it weren’t an either-or proposition? What if wind and solar could go hand-in-hand with environmentally sustainable farming?

In “Agri-Energy,” Pierce shows how this growing trend not only creates much-needed space for energy production but is an economic lifeline for countless farmers, and provides surprising benefits for livestock.
