[QUOTE="Ffermer Bach, post: 7695953, member: 51054"] I don't think we have to worry too much, Jacinda Arden is busy working away at destroying NZ agriculture and planting the whole country in pine trees so multinational companies can offset. On a more serious note, I would not be at all surprised if NZ produced lamb is more carbon neutral, however, I think our politicians need to remember UK food security is vital, and Covid has shown us how weak theses long supply chains can be. To my mind, we should encourage regenerative agricultural practices here in the UK, increase our vegetable production, stop building on both flood plains and good quality agricultural land. Count carbon sequestration in the benefits of animal production, as well as encourage local abattoirs to increase local food networks and resilience in the food chain. If doing all the above means we have to support farmers, I am happy with that. And if that still leaves space for imports, happy with that too. [/QUOTE]
