What the petition asks
Ban ground-mounted solar panels on fertile farmland and make it law that all new-build houses have solar panels installed. We think solar panels should be installed on rooftops, car parks and farm buildings, which should be subsidised by Government. Farmers could benefit from the additional income.
We think this Government needs to realise that food security is essential and building solar farms on fertile ground is simply ridiculous.
By actually supporting farmers by subsidising panels on farm buildings, you could actually support the industry that Great Britain relies on.
No Farmers, No Food - you cannot import it all.
