[QUOTE="GeorgeK, post: 7704835, member: 106748"] Not an exhaustive list but I consider these some of the main points. [B]Opportunities[/B] [LIST] [*]Well placed to meet growing demand for quality, high welfare, sustainably produced food. [*]Climate change and growing global population means more demand for our produce. [*]Carbon capture and renewable energy. [*]Drones and robots for weed control without chemicals, 24hr driverless fieldwork etc. [/LIST] [B]Threats[/B] [LIST] [*]Premium food will only ever be niche, vast majority only interested in lowest prices. [*]Small country too many people, so more pressure for public access, more fly tipping, theft and intolerance towards our work and way of life. [*]Price of agricultural commodities isn't keeping up with labour, input and equipment costs. [*]Reduced understanding of the practicalities of food production allows pressure groups and antis to take control, leading to farmers being regulated out of business and food imported. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
