In central Italy, particularly in the Ribolla region, local farmers and environmental activists have launched a campaign against the construction of large-scale agrivoltaic parks. The primary point of contention is the involvement of Shikun & Binui, an Israeli infrastructure and real estate company, which is leading the development of these renewable energy sites.

Activists argue that these projects threaten the integrity of Italian agricultural land, expressing concern that valuable farmland is being repurposed for industrial energy production. Beyond the environmental and land-use arguments, the protests are also fueled by opposition to the specific foreign entities behind the investment. Demonstrators have utilized the slogan 'Our land is not for sale' to highlight their resistance to what they describe as suspicious foreign capital entering the Italian renewables sector.

While the activists frame the movement as a defense of local heritage and agricultural autonomy, the developers and proponents of the projects maintain that these agrivoltaic sites are essential for Italy’s transition to green energy. The conflict reflects a broader tension in Italy regarding the balance between national energy goals and the preservation of rural landscapes. As of now, the protests have brought increased scrutiny to the approval processes for foreign-backed energy infrastructure, with activists calling for greater transparency regarding the financial backing and long-term impact of these projects on local communities.
