Why Volkswagen replaced lawnmowers with 100 sheep at its Poland solar farm and how the unusual move is helping power its factory, cut emissions and boost biodiversity

Volkswagen has introduced a flock of 100 sheep to graze beneath thousands of solar panels at its massive solar farm in Poznań, Poland. The animals are keeping the grass under control while also contributing to scientific research, biodiversity, and sustainable farming, reports Electrek.

The initiative is part of a growing agrivoltaics movement that combines agriculture with renewable energy, proving that the same land can serve multiple purposes at the same time.
