S2 Ep10: Rebekah Pierce | Chops and Watts - producing food and energy

Wednesday, October 15, 2025 • Duration 34:56

Rebekah Pierce is a farmer and solar grazier in New York state. In this episode she explains how she got into farming by ‘accident’, but is now paving the way with ‘Agri Energy’ through solar grazing.

She candidly explains to podcast host, Anna Byles that energy and food production don’t have to be separate and it is projects like her own solar grazing that are bridging that gap.

Listeners will also hear how this is benefiting soil, livestock, local communities and economies, even if the planning process can sometimes be tedious.

Rebekah makes it clear that communication and involvement with local communities is crucial to pulling back the curtain on renewable energy in order to challenge misconceptions the public might have.
