I have the feeling my answers do not quite fit with what the OP may have been expecting…

I don't do surveys normally, but has a look and at least you can say why it's nuts..

 

[delilah]

Completed your survey, you only mention fruit and veg, could do with adding pigs and other livestock

In a word, no.

Not a fekking hope. But then you’d know that if you had any understanding of what real nutrition actually is.

Or, as @delilah says, yes if you’re using the Chinese version.

Will be interested when vertical farming wheat starts to challenge the arable boys.

 

[DaveGrohl]

In spite of my post, I have done the survey. I’ve given my opinions in all honesty

 

[Boysground]

done think my answers may ask more questions

My fee will be £50 per hour, minimum 1hr.
Think I might be too cheap

Mr Russell, do you have an agricultural auction mart nearby? If so, why not go there and speak to farmers directly if you want an insight into their views on this topic?

maybe completing this call for evidence instead will be of more use to the livestock industry.

wow....what a lot of bollix!
You didn't leave much room for those of us who don't share your fantasy.

It'll come down to cost (90%) and health implications (10%)
It it was viable, it'd already be the norm.
But when you can buy grade 1 arable land in the UK for circa £12-15k per acre- and still struggle to make profit on crops grown straight out the floor using sun and rain....why would anyone bother?

The OP posted this (or a very similar survey) on here two weeks ago. Haven't looked closely to see what, if anything, is different with this one. Same thread title.

Perhaps the two threads should be merged.

No, but it can get a sizeable chunk of the population higher than the sun.

@WillRussell1505 ignore the muppets who have been less than constructive. A favourite pastime on here is giving student questionnaires a good kicking. I suspect it's just jealousy that daddy made them stay at home and graft rather than go to college like yourself. Good luck with your studies
