Er the emphasis on forestry shows the true aim of the policy. It’s about carbon off setting or whatever the f**k it’s called. The sleight of hand which says if you plant a tree here it’s ok to burn a barrel of oil over there. I’m all for action on climate change but carbon credits and trading is just a lie to justify the continuing use of fossil fuel. Meanwhile some chap from South America will provide the food! Will he be carbon neutral? You can be sure he’ll have a bit of paper which says he is!
Of course none of this surprises, the clue is in the name, the CONservative Party.
Slightly unbelievable that rational farmers are even talking about the blessed scheme. For land owners it’s different the aforementioned carbon credits are something that can generate income from consumers without any of the effort and risk associated with producing food, in other words the whole thing is another Tory Ponzi scheme for their mates.
