We can grow the protein in this country.

Well if it’s that simple we can grow the rubber too...

Probably can through OSR or even linseed.
Technology changes all the time

Not my intention to come across like that at all. If I do, my apologies. I am a poor writer. I enjoy the UK and it’s people, plan to visit again in the future.Genuine questions.

Here several years ago there was uproar in the organic community over imported Eastern Europe grain not being organic but being sold as such. Went on for years apparently. How would a ban on soybeans be enforced ?

I don’t think North America can supply soybeans any more sustainable than anywhere else at a broad acre scale using current practices. It’s an immense amount of P to repeatedly remove and ship round the world with all of the associated degradation issues with most crops. Thing is we got rid of our rainforest equivalent last century or two and are busy mining that soil built by prairie.

Lol , it was tounge in cheek

We could just stop buying it , like their beef simple, unless you're telling me that those boat loads of soya etc that come here aren't fully traceable? Do you mean that they aren't fully 'assured' ,

I thought zero till in N America was the current practice and much more sustainable ?

P running out will be everyone's problem, yes

Cutting down trees in the Amazonian rainforest willy nilly is a horrendous thing to do and right now not 100dreds of yrs ago .

I clear fell , yes but replant ASAP.

I don't think Bolsonaro would lose much sleep if the UK banned his soya

I put this analysis up in another thread.

The meal is a by product of human consumption of soya

Really need to get a Lupin industry going in the UK. Fills the arable need for an alternative to OSR and gets the livestock sector a home grown protein source.
