[QUOTE="DaveGrohl, post: 7428734, member: 3563"] This is the thing though isn't it? Any allocation of responsibilty needs to be fair. Yara have to take some of the blame for the N they produce but they shouldn't take all of it. Equally farmers can't absolve themselves of all responsibility because we COULD use only organic N, but ultimately the consumer has to shoulder the blame because it's them that's demanding the product. But again, they could for instance choose organic for whatever reason. But I suppose I've ended up arguing for a carbon tax that would be applied like VAT is currently but with it on food at the end of the chain. Oops. And of course this is a waaaay bigger subject than merely food. The fossil fuel companies are being blamed for everything too but they are simply meeting a demand. [/QUOTE]
