I think the wildlife angle could be the best bet.part of me is quite looking foward to it...the other part is terrified
it'll be ok if prices stay good BUT if prices fall food production will plummet
i've still not heard if my 'wildlife offer' has been successful ..if it is and i fully implement it my bps would be replaced but my ag output would fall 70 odd %
Can't see future governments taxing normal people to pay rich landowners to farm or rent land out to farmers. Tax cuts are the new normal.
Can see future governments happy to see cheap imported food (and lower standards) at the expense of farmers' livelyhoods. We're a very small minority and anyway cheap food is another new normal.
The public have forgotten about food security, they chuck away 33% of what they buy. The ruling elite don't seem too concerned either.
Both the public and the ruling classes do seem to care about the environment though, but of course after Brexit, Corona virus and continuing low taxes, there might not be that much money sloshing around for that either.
It all works very well until any shortages start to show up.
