Was think about this, particularly with relevance to what is happening in Wales where land is being bought up for tree's. Do we need a different model for this now?
Fundamentally, is this land valued correctly now?
Not in farming terms, but in it's value to the financial houses (the other party). This probably mostly effects what we might have called "unproductive" land before. I understand the first farm being sold off, when no one understood what they were trying to do, but surely this land is now asking £15-20k an acre. For any financial house that asks.
I could then at least see the farmers are making good money out of selling the land, even if I don't agree with the carbon-maths behind what they are doing with those acres.
