Covering thousands of acres of prime farmland with solar panels is a moral failure dressed up as virtue. It’s countryside vandalism. Prime farmland exists to grow food. Not to host glass and silicon for 25 years while populations rise and arable land shrinks. Better sites for solar exist in abundance: rooftops, brownfields, car parks. Choosing fertile fields instead is not necessity. It is preference - often driven by subsidies and land-use politics that undermine farmers, rural communities and future food security. That is not good governance. It is a corporation land grab contempt for the basic human requirement to eat.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Because no farmland, no food.
