FMC rules, OK?

In my day, we knew FMC as the Fatstock Marketing Corporation, last generally heard of in a bitter pension funds dispute where they were nationally acclaimed as being the good guys.


Now, however, it seems that FMC has come to mean something completely different - Free Market Conservatives - who willingly welcome and applaud the early demise of conventional cropping.


"done more efficiently than plants grow with photosynthesis,"


Dr Madsen Pirie is President of the Adam Smith Institute.



Adam Smith himself, who fully recognised that only French agriculture had saved its economy from the basket case created by its neo-intelligentsia, will be turning in his grave.

:D:D

I should probably have gone on to another thread, or perhaps to another forum, with that piece but it did seem to me to have serious implications for the future of UK cropping as we know it.

"it is technological innovations that are driving the solutions. . . one of the most promising recent ones is the move to create farm-free foods . . . these developments raise the prospect of using only a fraction of current farmland to meet future food demands, leaving the way clear to reforest and “rewild” much of the land currently needed for agriculture."

As the leading neo-liberal think-tank, the ASI may be a complete joke to some of us, but many of its ideas were embraced, and later enacted, by Margaret Thatcher, John Major and Tony Blair.

If only Monbiot and his mates could be persuaded to do the same, drummer.


But no, one week it's Apocalypse Cow, next it's the Adam Smith Institute talking it up, next it's the Free Market Conservatives on board and soon enough it'll be government policy.
