greenhouse gas emissions (Ahamed et al., 2011). To address this problem scientists
made to look for using solar energy, a renewable energy, which can help in
maintaining a clean environment, free from carbon dioxide emission (Behera et al.,
2015).

With these pressing problems the “Solar Harvest Project: Leading a Sustainable
Future through Solar Farming” is an innovative program seeks to promote the
widespread adoption of solar farming practices, contributing to environmental
sustainability and energy security.

From the study of Aroonsrimorakot, S., & Laiphrakpam, M. (2019) and KC Solar
(2023). The benefits of using solar energy, includes: increased agricultural productivity,
does not generate carbon dioxide or air pollution, it is economical, it can grow crops
beneath solar panels, offer shade to the crops, reducing water evaporation, helping
conserve precious water resources and generate clean energy, providing much-
needed electricity to power rural communities and agricultural operations. By guiding
the community towards self-reliance and holistic progress, the extension program aims
 to produce significant and transformative outcomes.

Thus, Solar farming offers a promising solution for using a single plot of land to serve
two purposes: Feeding the increasing world population, and generating renewable
energy. This approach makes land more efficient by enabling the coexistence of solar
farms and agriculture.
