Solar farms in the UK only account for 0.1% of land

Solar farms in the UK only account for 0.1% of land – that's less than that of golf courses. But, as the government aims to meet its green energy agenda, more agricultural land is being lost to solar panels.
On this episode of Climate Cast, Tom Heap visits farmer Andrew Dakin, whose family have farmed the same land for 94 years, but now, his landlord is selling up to make room for a solar farm.

Tom speaks to Andrew about how not just his job but his livelihood is at risk - and Georgia, who grew up nearby and has launched a community campaign to help save the farm.
