[QUOTE="Goweresque, post: 8044464, member: 818"] There's a difference between 'they [the State] want farmers gone' and 'the corporates will take over farming'. The former is definitely true, they want small individual farmers gone, I think in fact they want farming itself gone, in the main. Hence the push towards tree planting/rewilding etc. Thats the aim - drive as many small farmers off the land as possible, turn vast swathes of the countryside into 'eco-paradises' that will help carbon offset the urban consumption of cheap tat. Import 80% of food requirements from elsewhere. In this scenario there isn't much farming left, so there's nothing for the corporates to take over. Maybe they'll end up owning the areas of rewilding, who knows? But one thing I can guarantee, the corporates won't end up owning hundreds of thousands of acres that they farm commercially. The economics just aren't there to justify the way they operate. [/QUOTE]
