As solar grazing is the dominant form of agrisolar for utility-scale solar, this guide has a strong focus on sharing the knowledge and learnings from Australian projects that have integrated solar grazing practices to date.

It also aims to accelerate our understanding of the opportunities for solar projects to support a wide range of other food and fibre growing activities and biodiversity outcomes, from horticulture and viticulture to cropping and beekeeping.
