[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 8184028, member: 86168"] presumably, collecting waste food for swill, was the best solution, but it was abused, and now goes into land fill, at a cost. A lot stuff we feed to stock, are by-products, or 'residue' from human food production, which is sold at a 'nice' price. What would happen to them, if we didn't, land fill, free for collection ? Some of the by-products, we use, are from very unethical practices, and against public opinion, or at least the minority, zealots, with loud voices, others serve a sensible use. As we move forward, into a new era, where food is rapidly going up in price, only due to supply/demand, so perhaps other processes, will be developed to convert some of those waste products, back into the human food chain. However we dress it up, importing products, ie soya and palm oil products, 1,000's of miles, and grown from environmentally damaging farming, in the current climate, is wrong, in the publics eye's. The main problem is a lack of education in 'food', and greedy, profit hungry retailers. Sort that out.............. However, guvs require cheap food, that isn't going to be cheap, in future, how they marry that problem, with climate change targets, not sure it can be, achieved, even by 'importing' cheap food, that still has to face rising input costs. The 'problem' both needs, and will be, solved, it has to be, how, l don't know, doubt if many do ! The 'traditional' way, was ag subsidies, on food production, guv has decided to remove those food production based subsidies, onto environmental ones, that will lower the food production, of UK ag. They cannot, pay subs on both, interesting times, and hopefully, better times, for farmers, ahead. [/QUOTE]
