Penn State’s Center for Agricultural and Shale Law, partnered with the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Business Development Center (ABDC), presents “Understanding Agricultural Law: A Legal Educational Series for General Practice Attorneys and Business Advisors Representing Agricultural and Rural Clients.” This webinar series is specifically tailored to develop subject matter literacy and competence on fundamental issues of agricultural law for attorneys, advisors, and service providers to agricultural producers and agri-businesses.
This session will provide a brief overview of data center basics and discuss how data centers could impact agriculture in Pennsylvania, including questions of land, water, and energy use. This presentation will also address questions of how data centers are driving transmission projects and potential impacts of eminent domain on conserved land.
