Will they ever see sense?
Food comes from supermarkets. In all the media coverage of the Ukraine (breadbasket of the world) situation, we have yet to hear anybody mention food or agriculture.I'd guess they might realise in the next few years.
Farming representatives aren't exactly doing much to emphasise the point.
At the most .I don’t think anybody realises that you are always 3 days from starvation
This whole Ukraine thing is a humanitarian disaster and, quite rightly so, it's at the forefront of everybody's minds at the moment.Farming representatives aren't exactly doing much to emphasise the point.
Whos he ?Even Sean Rickard is calling on the government to develop an overarching food strategy based on home production..
Ex NFU economist and acedemicWhos he ?
And for the government 1 day away from food riots.I don’t think anybody realises that you are always 3 days from starvation
MoneyWhat do you all want to produce more of?
It’s not about ‘us’ as farmers,it’s the fact that this country‘s soft underbelly is 60% self sufficiency and falling.All these threads about food security/ self sufficiency, fine, rant and rave, throw in as many I told you so's as you want. But in the context of Govt policy, if you believe that increasing productivity needs to be a part of ELMS, you need to say how this can be achieved alongside all of the environmental goals. Because otherwise you're really not helping.
For a start-No point producing more if there's not market for it though. What do you all want to produce more of?
we used to pay his wages "NFU" when he left he tried to make half of us redundant!Whos he ?
