Do solar farms threaten arable land in Scotland?
Plans for a large solar farm in the Carse of Gowrie have raised concerns that prime Scottish farmland could be taken out of food production. Commentators are debating whether renewable energy projects should be built on high-quality arable land, weighing climate goals against food security and the loss of some of Scotland's most productive soil.
