[QUOTE="farmerm, post: 7800589, member: 7195"] Thank goodness the UK has low land prices and low productivity and by planting 30,0000ha of trees a year we will save the world.... oh wait! :banghead: [ATTACH type="full"]992592[/ATTACH] There is certainly some land in the UK that would be better planted with trees but it should be a criminal act to plant trees on good productive agricultural land in the UK. We have a global problem, we need global solutions. It is pure stupidity to put trees on land that can produce 10 units of food per ha in one place whilst simultaneous felling mature forest elsewhere to release land capable of producing barely 1 unit of food per ha. For an intelligent species we aint half thick :banghead: For the same investment required to plant 30,000ha of trees in the UK, 1million ha of rainforest could be protected from deforestation!!
