## Resource

Rafael Lara, a Brazilian farmer who moved to Canada in 2018, turned his dream of owning a farm into a surprising success by letting his sheep graze on solar farms instead of buying land. The sheep naturally keep grass trimmed under solar panels, easing rural resistance to solar projects and boosting local economies. With panels providing shade, the sheep stay healthy and the grass thrives—creating a win-win for solar companies and communities. As solar grazing becomes standard, Canada now faces a sheep shortage, prompting Lara to triple his flock and potentially revolutionize the lamb market and national economy.
