Food Supply
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of solar farms on levels of food security.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
Only 0.1% of land is used for solar, and half of the agricultural land generating solar power is still producing food. Solar farms are not a risk to food security and instead help play an important role in diversifying farm income and decarbonising our economy.
