Excerpt: "What Works Under Solar Panels

Sheep and Poultry: #SheepGrazing is well-established at solar sites, they benefit from shade, don't damage equipment, and manage vegetation. #Poultry also do well. Larger animals require reinforced racking; goats and pigs may interfere with wiring.

#Hay and #Pasture: Shading reduces yields, but shade-tolerant species (#orchardgrass, #WhiteClover) maintain reasonable productivity.

#Vegetables: #LeafyGreens, #brassicas, and some #herbs tolerate #PartialShade. Sun-loving crops should be planted between panel rows.

Fruit: Most fruit crops need full sun. Currants and gooseberries are more tolerant. Start small to observe actual impacts." [Raspberries do well in partial sun]."

Clearing rainforest for cattle farming is far worse for nature than previously thought, finds landmark bird survey

"In the largest ever survey of rainforest birdlife, scientists have discovered that deforestation to create pastureland in Colombia is causing around 60% more damage to biodiversity than previously estimated...We found that the biodiversity loss caused by clearing rainforest for pastureland is being massively underestimated.”

Did I post this vintage seduction postcard on here when it went up on ErosBlog? No easy way to search my own toots, so who knows? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But I do not think I did. This pastoral seduction scene is perhaps from Beiderer/Ostra studios in pre-WWII France.
