#Hitzeschutz für Weidetiere. 🌡️🐑 Schafe suchen bei hohen Temperaturen gezielt den kühleren Schatten unter PV-Modulen auf. Solarparks bieten weidenden Tieren zudem einen wichtigen Witterungsschutz. ☂️🌿#SolarGrazing 5/5

"The UK has traditionally been largely self-sufficient in sheep meat. But high feed and farming costs, market uncertainty and low profitability have seen flocks fall to their lowest number ever recorded."

Does this mean that instead of exposed, subsidised #grazing maintaining ever barer #moorland which should be regrowing its tree-cover, we're trending towards using #sheep instead of oil-fueled machinery or herbicides to control the vegetation around solar #PV instalations? Win-win-win-win-win, I'd say. Or as another great account on here calls it #multiSolving @bethsawin
