SwitchedOn podcast: Farming the sun, grazing the land

switchedon podcast

Regional Australia is on the frontlines of the renewable energy boom, but many locals feel left out of the action.

Tony Inder is a sixth-generation sheep farmer from Wellington, NSW, who’s found a way to make large-scale solar and agriculture work together.

Tony now runs sheep under solar panels, and he says it’s been a win-win for the land, the livestock, and the local economy. His story challenges the idea that solar farms and farming can’t mix, and shows what’s possible when communities are part of the energy transition from the ground up.
