Solar Grazing: Principles, Practices, and Partnerships (2027)

##Overview The Solar Grazing: Principles, Practices, and Partnerships workshop is designed for those interested in the innovative intersection of renewable energy and agriculture. Over two and a half days, participants will engage in a comprehensive exploration of solar grazing, guided by experts from White Oak Pastures and experienced solar site managers. The workshop includes field visits to two distinct solar farms, showcasing various designs and their respective benefits and challenges. Attendees will participate in a rotational grazing demonstration with sheep, learn about the financial aspects of solar grazing, and gain insights into effective contract negotiation.

Key topics covered will include soil health principles, strategies for protecting solar infrastructure from livestock, and best practices for animal selection and management. The workshop is limited to 16 participants, ensuring a personalized learning experience. Additionally, all ticket holders will enjoy farm-to-table meals from the White Oak Pastures Farmer's Table. This event not only provides valuable knowledge but also offers networking opportunities with leaders in regenerative agriculture. Participants who are members of the American Solar Grazing Association (ASGA) can earn a digital badge and be featured on the ASGA Solar Grazing Map upon completion of the workshop.
