[QUOTE="holwellcourtfarm, post: 7663027, member: 42914"] Problem 4: Stopping using land capable of economically producing human edible foods for growing livestock feed is a good thing I believe (Goodbye barley fed beef etc). Stopping deforrestation to graze or grow feeds for livestock is a no-brainer. However, ALL of these analyses fail to adequately recognise the issue that very little of the land currently grazing livestock in the UK can ECONOMICALLY produce human edible crops though. Unless it is profitable framers will not do it. Even worse, for the alternative use argument, some studies have recently indicated that simply converting pasture to woodland can actually EMIT carbon. None of this is easy. Easy to understand. Easy to change. Easy to live with. [/QUOTE]
