Agriculture as we know it

[Kevtherev]

Reading media reports and Facebook posts about tree planting and alternatives to meat on a daily basis.
Vegan and save the earth types gathering huge momentum as every week goes on.
Are we facing what can only be described as a farming endangerment?
Could we as a switched on farming group on here set up something to counteract the very anti farming messages that are circulating out there??
We already have the Grass roots group so could we have a group similar??
Green farming as the title or something??
Ideas @Clive @Chris F @JP1
Before it’s too late.

Wrong target. It's corporate control of the food chain you want to be countering.

edit: There's only one news story to be watching this weekend, and it isn't vegan sausages or tree planters.

As an industry we’re very lazy when it comes to showing proof of how good our products are. We could also be better at getting independent tests showing how bad some foods are such as fake meat, ultra processed etc

Yes a very valid point milkloss and we need something along those lines to counteract the very anti farming message that’s out there.

It will all come out in the wash regarding the fake meat alternatives however does the farming industry have time to wait for the outcome.

Disinformation in the modern digital world is shocking,everyone now has a platform to pedal lies and there is a hunger to believe this tripe.

You have to turn the tap on and make the wash. Could always wait for someone else to do it but why would they bother?

Needs a new broom to sweep clean..

I wouldn’t worry about it at all. Just easier for the students and the like to tell everyone what they’re up to through social media these days.
we’ll all just a bunch of animals at the end of the day, and meat will always be in demand. I just had a beauty of a steak

Given his CV, 'Minister for vertical integration and complete control of the means of production' would be a more accurate title.
