    I thought farmers were only in business atm due to people still insisting on eating food.

     

     

    If only!

     

    Think we need to go the way the Kiwis did and stop farming subsidies- if there's no financial back up, then maybe we can get back down to smaller farms, with more people managing the soil in a more regenerative way.

     

    I'd use 'sustainable' but why would we want to sustain an already massively degraded environment? 

     

    Planting trees is good, but not enough - there's more that needs to be taken into account, especially on agricultural land. The worst tool man invented was the plough - but the farming industry in the UK is full of old-timers who just do what they've always done - essentially the same thing since WWII when the subsidies were introduced.
