Italy praised for embracing ‘common sense’ on solar farms

Published 2024-07-20
Sky News host Rita Panahi has praised Italy for embracing “common sense” after the government banned the installation of solar farms on agricultural land.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Melini said solar farms are threatening the nation’s “food sovereignty”.

Ms Panahi said they are “shockingly ugly” and are “scarring” the land.
