[QUOTE="Jackov Altraids, post: 7936686, member: 3566"] You, and government should consider the true meaning of forcing British agriculture to compete on a world market while being severely disadvantaged by extra costs and little support. It exports welfare and environmental issues It further distorts our balance of payments It will cause loss of critical mass and rural economies will suffer but the point I was making is that while they are happy for farms to go out of business to cheap imports, as recent events have shown, at a time of shortage exports are stopped and the price of produce is kept down so there is only ever the downside of a free market. Keeping a nation's agriculture financially sustainable is widely seen as being the first essential step before trying to make it environmentally sustainable. [/QUOTE]
