## Resource

Can solar farms grow food and renewable power at the same time? In this episode of Productive Passions, host Christy Tagye sits down with agri-energy advocate Rebekah Pierce to explore how sunlight, sheep, and solar can transform the future of farming. From upstate New York pastures to nationwide debates about land use, you will hear how agri-energy protects farmland, supports farmers, and powers our communities. Whether you are a farmer, renewable energy professional, or simply care about where your food and power come from, this conversation will open your eyes to what is possible when agriculture and clean energy work together instead of competing. You will hear honest stories about risk, startup costs, aging farmers, community resistance, and the creative solutions that keep land productive and families on the farm.
