[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 8034891, member: 86168"] food isn't going to run out, l wish it would, but it wont. price might rise, well will rise. as to the penny dropping, l wonder how the s/mkts view it, do they think, up the price now, we turn the taps on, supply goes up, then they drop it, their usual practice. Some how, l doubt we can turn the taps on, inputs are to high, fert at £1000/t, isn't going to be bought/used as before, world supplies are not there, transport will kill that. But not sure product is out there, our prices have been good, if there were plenty, they wouldn't be. What might change, is the type of food we produce. Organic, won't increase, there will always be the dedicated mkt, and like vegan, they will always be there, but the ones who do it, for 'trendy' bit, will stop. Likewise, the quality, or niche market share, probably won't increase, and might be more special occasion. The demand will be for the staple foods, mince, spuds, wheat etc. And being farmers, we always have, and will, adapt to those changing markets. [/QUOTE]
