In China, especially on trains between Shanghai and Hong Kong, I saw solar panels installed above ponds. I never managed to find out for sure what I was seeing, but I suspect I was looking at fish farms.

In which case, the solar panels would have been reducing the amount of sun hitting the water. Keeping them cooler, and reducing the energy for algal growth, which can feed on poo from the fish and make them sick.

"Nearly 4/5 of farmland is for animals, even though they provide <20% of global calories."

Someone will inevitably point to protein or iron as a reason to eat animals. Ignoring the fact that the animals eaten by humans get all their protein and iron from the plants they eat, and so can we.
