Description: 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, Rebekah Pierce shows how this growing trend can be a win-win-win for people, power, and the planet. Pierce gives farmers, developers, environmental activists, and concerned community members the information they need to successfully pair renewable energy and agriculture. The result is a concise but complete primer on a little-understood phenomenon with enormous implications for economic, food, and energy security.
