[QUOTE="Grass And Grain, post: 7284137, member: 23184"] First thing to come under the spotlight should be reducing unnecessary GHG emmisions, such as flights to Spain and the wasteful use of land for alcohol production and consumption. Forage maize and grass in the UK yield 6t+/acre of DM. At a FCE of 6:1 and killing out of 57%, that's 570kg of beef. Compare that to less than 500kg/acre of lentils and all of a sudden the beef doesn't look all so bad. Large parts of the UK are grass. If we don't produce beef and lamb off this grass then it means importing more food, which in turn means knocking more rain forest down. What are we going to do with all the rejected milling wheat that hasn't made the grade due to specific weight, low hagburgs, liw protein, sprouting, etc etc. And all the rapeseed meal, and maize gluten, and soyabean meal, and palm kernal sunflower hulls, citrus pulp, linseed expeller etc etc. Best use is to turn it into animal protein.
