I hope @Janet Hughes Defra will read it.Far too sensible to be taken seriously by our leaders
I was told the NZ lamb, even with transport had a lower Carbon cost than Welsh lamb, however we have to think about the costs to the countryside too, if we export all our production, as well as food security. Plus, I have a feeling Jucinda Arden is very busy sorting out the export of food from NZ anyway, soon it will be covered with pine trees, so multinational companies can claim to be Carbon Neutral!Best point he makes is about global carbon,
if we buy food in it is higly likely to have a higher carbon footprint than stuff made here, plus the shipping on top, how does that stack up on global emissions,
government are just full of tossers, can’t even control electric prices. They should just buy them all up,one thing (and only) I agreed with Corbin on, all untilites government owned…

It was a paper by Saunders et al back in the 2000s. What it boiled down to was higher nitrogen use in the UK made the overall carbon footprint larger.I understand these massive ships are very efficient on a mile per tonne basis but I just don't see how that can possibly be true?
I'm not saying you are wrong, just my head can't make sense of it!?

But most research into this area just says it's almost impossible to make a direct comparison and there's probably not much in it.

Science can prove anything given someone spending some money on a "Scientist".
Strangely enough a NZ University given NZ money can prove NZ Lambs rocks okay !
Very frustrating our much vaunted Red Tractor Auditors don't audit that science -but I bet there's no money in it for Red Tractor, plenty of money for the farmers who are paying Red Tractor though.
Tail wagging the dog IMHO.
