Why doesn’t Britain value its farmers? This crisis has shown we need to think very carefully about how the nation feeds itself

[QUOTE="SilliamWhale, post: 6853495, member: 1232"] He says Britain doesn't value farmers but you would think he would be having a tidy slug from Farm Payment and Enviro scheme wouldn't he? What is he wanting exactly? I'd agree that as a policy priority agriculture and food security was withering away but the modern consumer does seem to be wanting peppers and orzo and avocado and lemons etc. more than sweetbreads at the moment. I have got more conscious of buying less supermarket meat over the past few years but I'm not quite sure what he is wanting. I'd agree our veg system looks a bit skewed but you can join any number of veg box scheme easier than you ever used to (plenty in Cumbria too). British Strawberries are an amazing success story, I still scratch my head why I can't get a decent British pear though. [/QUOTE]
