[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7318389, member: 86168"] The modern 'green' movements have various crops, eg soya and palm oil, firmly in their sights, as 'bad' in their belief they are planet destroyers. They are also much better than us at getting their voices heard, in reality that means the end is nigh, and virtually nothing we can do/say is going to alter that. The s/mkts re-act to customers thoughts, they are now 'looking' at soya, we have to declare our soya use, and origin, you know what that means. On a purely non-farming point of view, can it seem right, to import 'foods' with a 'dodgy' heritage, into the country from 1000's of miles away ? Especially now we are going to be paid for a 'green' farming aspect. Many things are about to change, covid and brexit, have assured that, and we must adapt, also certain food production will gradually increase in importance, in a few years time ! It's the same old story, we have to produce what our customers, think they want, not what we think they want. One of the 'hidden' bonuses of covid, is the fact that people are connecting with UK ag, in a small, but positive way, we need to encourage that, eating out has declined, home cooking has increased, we need to fill that mkt, in a way that encourages them to by local/uk. And we need to stop looking at farming, from our correct views, and start looking at it from our customers views, s/mkts have been so successful because they have adapted to public wants, so successful, they now encourage, and influence shoppers to think along the most profitable products, whereas we, haven't yet thrown of the smock and straw in mouth, vision of many.
