Volkswagen has traded lawnmowers for a flock of 100 sheep at its massive solar farm in Poland. According to a report, the automotive giant is using the animals to keep the grass short around the facility while working on a major scientific study on how heavy industry and agriculture can work together. The flock has been deployed beneath more than 31,000 solar panels that power Volkswagen’s manufacturing plant in Poznań, where the company builds vehicles like the VW e-Crafter commercial van.The Electrik reported that beyond saving on landscaping bills, the initiative is being seen as an eco-friendly blueprint for the future of clean energy management.“Today, the photovoltaic farm delivers much more than green electricity. It has also become a place that supports biodiversity, local agriculture, and scientific research.
