To help guide solar development in a manner that maximizes benefits to farming communities, AFT launched its Smart Solar initiative in 2021. Smart Solar seeks to (1) safeguard land well-suited for farming and ranching, (2) strengthen farm viability, and (3) accelerate solar energy development. Why? Because America needs both renewable energy and thriving farms.

Through Prosperity Partners, AFT offers a comprehensive range of technical assistance services designed to help solar energy grow while creating new and innovative opportunities for farmers and ranchers to build long-term viability.

AFT is trusted by the agricultural community, solar developers, and regulators—bolstering our role as the national leader in agriculturally compatible solar development.
