[QUOTE="GeorgeK, post: 7323499, member: 106748"] I studied marketing and the rise of anti farming groups is quite a problem. The first thing we learnt was advertising is the last, smallest and weakest part of marketing. Successful marketing is all about identifying and exploiting trends. The problem is the anti farming adverts are only taking advantage of deeper societal and demographic trends. As has been noted on this forum the loss of connection between consumers and food is the root of the problem. Food is taken for granted and there is no understanding of the practicalities of it's production. The anti farming "Compassionate, eco-friendly, blame someone else and save the world without leaving your sofa" message is an easy sell to people who are removed from the realities of how the world must be fed. Trends are deep rooted and notoriously difficult and usually impossible to create or steer. Adverts mostly reflect trends, they don't direct them. In our situation adverts are a sticking plaster, they can't turn the tide. It's hard to overstate what a challenge it will be to change the direction of things, but the only real solution would probably have to begin at the start by physically reconnecting people with food production [/QUOTE]
