[QUOTE="delilah, post: 7791131, member: 76758"] There are two - interconnected - things that Dieter Helm and his ilk fail to understand. 1) There is nothing wrong our side of the farm gate. If you want to understand where the environmental damage is being caused, then you look at the food chain and the ways in which increases in co2 emissions over the last 50 years have tracked the changes that have taken place in the chain. 2) All meaningful change is demand driven. If you[I] do[/I] see the need for farming to change, then you achieve that by changing the signals from the marketplace, not by hitting farmers with a big stick. Of course, so long as farmers via their representative bodies keeps saying "it's our fault, please, hit me" then that is what will happen. [/QUOTE]
