Solar power is reshaping agriculture in Pakistan
Original: Solar power is changing agriculture in Pakistan, but some fear it could cause issues
Solar energy is transforming farming in Pakistan, with growers increasingly using solar-powered systems to run irrigation and other equipment. The shift is lowering costs and expanding access to water for crops, but observers warn it could bring problems, such as over-extraction of groundwater and uneven access between wealthier and poorer farmers, raising questions about whether the benefits can be sustained.
Why now: A new report highlights both the promise and the risks of Pakistan's rapid shift to solar-powered farming.
