Mass-scale acreage use of solar power panels should not be put on prime agricultural land, as it reduces our food farming and damages the soil. Instead, these panels should be installed on rooftops or brownfield sites where they won't interfere with agriculture.

Prime farmland is crucial for feeding our growing population and maintaining a stable food supply. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation, we need to increase global food production by 70% by 2050 to meet the demands of an estimated 9 billion people. Utilising prime farmland for mass scale solar energy projects undermines this goal and puts our future food security at risk.

Governments must legislate to protect agricultural lands from being converted into solar farms. By prioritising alternative locations like rooftops or brownfields, we can achieve renewable energy goals without compromising our food security.

Sign this petition to urge governments worldwide to protect prime agricultural land from being used for mass-scale solar panel installations.
