American Farmland Trust says more research is needed at the state and federal levels to understand the impact of solar development on farmland.
Samantha Levy is the organization�s conservation and climate policy manager.
�There�s a lot we don�t know, this is a much newer application of technology, solar development is scaling larger,� she shares.
American Farmland Trust�s recent smart solar recommendations for policymakers request more research to study how projects will impact local communities and the future of food production.
