You may be right, but given 30% of grown food is not used and we have a fairly high obesity crisis in the developed world, there could be a reasonable drop in production without any real danger.

This sounds ok in theory. But in practice it will mean massive price rises very quickly. Mainly obesity is too much bready crap!
by buying carbon credits ? .
For sure, chump for believing it. However, to be fair to Mr Dimbleby he can't be expert in all things, hence he had his two advisory panels. They will have told him that methane from cows is destroying the planet. So who was advising him ? Yup, us.
Branson was on the radio claiming to be carbon neutral. Wtf.
Well I guess he could only make that claim if some muppet farmers have sold him enough credits ?

my mate put on a lot of weight, he said it was all because he got a bread making machine, so started eating lots of bread

IIRC, he said his space tourism would be no worse than a long haul first class flight.
Yea, like that has an insignificant carbon footprint

Farmers get such a ridiculously small share of a product's end value, I don't think it would make for massive price rises.
Eg in that loaf of bread, the grain is worth how many p? I've read it on here somewhere and it isn't a lot..
people will shed a lot of tears before their rubbish bins go hungry
yep but any rise in the price of grain is an immediate excuse for a rise in the price of bread, its like fish and chip shops love it when there is a very high spud price year, prices go up, never to come down again
How tf does he thinks he works that one out?IIRC, he said his space tourism would be no worse than a long haul first class flight.

Cattle don’t spontaneously produce methane, just like an engine doesn’t just produce CO2. they break down plant matter which and the carbon stored in the plant is then released via carbon dioxide and methane. Like burning a fuel and the CO2 is released: That carbon in the plant was drawn down from the atmosphere, rather than coming from a locked up source in the ground. Why isn’t this obvious that as long as we don’t increase cattle and sheep numbers then they are not adding to the problem.
A lot of his information came from global averages as well, it pisses you off because it’s blatantly obvious what’s needed.
1. Break up the monopolised supply chain most important Tim Lang has stressed this multiple times.
2. Reduce waste, we could feed 30% more people by doing nothing to agriculture if we wasted less
3. Invest in healthy eating and food poverty, and reducing obesity. It’s frightening how much of NHS spending goes on tackling obesity related illness.
4. Food prices up to a more realistic level this will discourage waste and reduce over consumption. The USA is the only country that spends less on food than the UK does and look as the state of rural America and the health of the population. supply chain measures to distribute shares and instead of paying farmers subs, use the money to ensure the poorest can access decent quality food.
5. Create a secure and sustainable agricultural industry, that provides food, greater biodiversity and money to the economy not just a tree planting Tory play ground.
What’s taken him 2 years could have been implemented in 5 minutes and I’d let keep the huge wage they’ve given him.

My brother-in-law flew to a meeting in Brazil and flew back the next day. He said it needed to be face-to-face
