[QUOTE="JP1, post: 7575431, member: 54"] I've listened to Dieter Helm's Audible book (well about 19 hours in) and in amongst the repetitive get the polluter (farmer) to pay for his damages to the environment, this Oxford academic and learned economist is constantly saying "with sheep and other marginal farming activities hardly being profitable let's re-wild much of Britain and save the planet". His assumption is that only some farmers can afford the new costs of compliance with ever more stringent regulation and a watchful educated consumer public. I note his PA's email address is listed on the e-packaging and I'm all for emailing him and just stating what might be the fatal flaw in his argument : if you don't get your food from this Country are you in danger of assuming there is a massive surplus produced to your ever more exacting standards elsewhere?
