[QUOTE="martian, post: 7713898, member: 801"] The supermarkets are not our friends. If we all produced a uniform product which fitted perfectly into their horrible polystyrene packs, do you honestly think we'd all be paid top dollar? The food system is dysfunctional and farmers get the smallest amount out of it. Rather than bowing and scraping before our masters, we should concentrate on producing good food and selling it to our neighbours. Colin Tudge in his brilliant new book, [I]The Great Rethink, [/I] talks about his vision of the only realistic future for humanity which is 'a convivial society in a flourishing biosphere' which, when you think about it, is a thoroughly pleasing and achievable ambition. Farmers are nicely poised to be the super-heroes of a benign future, not just through carbon sequestration etc, but also because increasingly everyone is going to need good, locally produced food, growing commodities for multi-nationals is economic suicide and doesn't much help the planet, or its inhabitants.
