A lot of food perishes on long distance shipping which means producing more to cover waste and the sea is much more important to protect than forests as even if you were to cut down the rain forest in its entirely the sea is still covering 60%+ of CO2 intake and O2 output, it would certainly make things worse but it is truly a secondary issue to screwing up the ocean acid levels due to the heavy oil fuels used by tankers and the waste they dump.

I used to work on the market in my youth selling jeans and t-shirts directly behind the fruit and veg stall. The stalls are mainly empty now because people choose the convenience and the free parking of a one stop shop at the supermarket that now sell something of everything. The market used to sell more! A lot more choice and variety no matter what you were buying. I would argue that the now expensive and restricted town centre parking is what really killed it, not the price of goods. Can't blame Covid because it was dying way before then. A pair of Levi's from our stall was around 33% cheaper than anywhere else in or around town. My boss was still a wealthy man. We also sold work jeans for as little as a fiver! You would double that now as it was a few years ago, but it's still half the price of Tesco! I know the fruit and veg stall owners well. They are very wealthy too and are one of the few stalls still standing to this day. They are still cheaper than the supermarket and sell much better quality produce. They always sell out too. There's also a fruit and veg stall that now stands at the entrance to the local hospital. Again cheaper and better quality. Want quality cheap meat? ...got to an abattoir. It's all local produce. I grew up on a small organic farm. We didn't need subsidising. We had enough to feed our 2 families and sold everything locally and often direct to the public. If you've never eaten fresh veg from the field or an egg straight from the chicken you are missing out. I also remember our freezer was always full with our own animals. I confess I ate Tiddles the lamb and Berty the boar. I named them, raised them and then ate them. Real meat. Not pumped up with brines and other preservatives. Fun fact: the human body is now taking longer to decompose when you die. That's all the preservatives you are eating. I bet you don't even read the labels. The labels aren't even telling you the truth! Remrmber, you are what you eat. Price isn't everything. Quality counts. Real whole food. Food with no hidden chemicals or extras. The flavours ring out! The veg in the supermarket is how can I say this politely... comparitavely rotten! Still covered in chemicals. We turned a good profit on our farm. We didn't go without. Only those farmers that are contracted to the supermarket need subsidising as they are being ripped off. Their costs have gone up. Supermarket prices have gone up. However, the farmer is bound by his contract at pre pandemic, pre pre inflation, and pre price hike prices. They are working for pennies while the supermarket makes pounds! A family apple pie to the door of a food processing plant costs around 40p. That's the farmer and the migrant factory worker paid. The farmer is hardly turning a profit. The factory worker is on minimum wage and really doesn't care what goes into your pie and it may well have human ingredients that aren't listed, may have been on the floor, who knows. The supermarket then sells that pie for a minimum £1.50. Even on the reduced at 75p they are still making a profit. Interesting! We sold our farm many years ago. It was bought by a guy that converted it to a holiday home with outdoor adventure as a theme. It used to be a quiet, peaceful farm. Now all you hear and smell is quad bikes rallying around the fields all day. So much for reducing CO². Other farmers are currently converting to solar farms. Do you understand why that's actually bad?! You should never put solar over green fields. It kills the environment. They're not even efficient. 22% at best. The rest is converted to heat! Anyone for global warming? Wind turbines also warm the land. Why? Because that wind is what cools the land. The UK has effectively built a wind block all the way around our island. 50% of the time the sun is too low in the sky to produce and 50% of the time it rains! Grass and cows do it so much better. It's not true that there's always wins when the sun doesn't shine. As I still live in a rural area. May I add, a place of outstanding beauty. I will honestly say I'll miss the farms when they're gone. A walk in the countryside (if we're allowed) won't quite be the same. Rewilding... includes wolves and feral cats. Huge wind turbines and PV arrays everywhere you look. Or when we've covered the land with houses to accommodate all the people coming in. Walking in the countryside just won't quite be the same. A sustainable future... yeah right... ...remember no, farmers no food! This little Isle can't sustain the current population. ... and what they sell in the supermarket isn't what you could actually call food. The free market isn't making the decisions anymore. It's the legislation! EVERYTHING is being PUSHED in a particular direction. You might not be a socialist just yet... but it is coming. You will be. I also believe muslim is becoming our new religion and the woke agenda will simply end up back in the closet and be persecuted for ever coming out. Historically, it always comes in three's, doomed to repeat because we never learn. Health. War. Regime change. ...and it's inevitable. This country is doomed. Our culture and traditions are being irradicated before our eyes. Yet there's hope... A 4 pint bottle of milk from our local farmer is 16p cheaper than the supermarket. And it's really really fresh and tasty. No face recognition, no club card selling your personal information. No depressed staff. No security watching your every move. No app. No queue at the checkout or self service. No fighting for the only car parking space. No dings in your door panels. No fines for overstaying your welcome. A simple refrigerated vending machine in a small hut at the side of the road wins this time. Sells other things too.

This is an incredibly complex issue, and its not as simple as just giving farmers more money; something most of these farmers don't address is their own farming practice. Conventional, chemical based techniques are incredibly damaging to the environment and are killing the very soil they need to grow in. The rates of crop production in the UK on conventional farms have been dropping for years. But with regenerative, bio diverse and chemical free farming techniques, they can restore soil vitality and crop production without irreparable damage to the environment. Then you have the issue of markets and the cost of food - they're completely right when they blame supermarkets for the crisis in the financial side of farming. Supermarkets control over 95% of the market, and farmers have very little control over the wholesale price of their products. The government mainly subsidizes large farms, so small scale local market gardens and small farms that could really boost local communities, cut food miles and increase the quality and variety of veg and meat available for the general public don't get any funding from the government, which they desperately need, as well as affordable land for new growers and farmers. And to top it off, the general public leads a pace and style of life that completely divorces them from knowing how to cook and eat fresh food, and are priced out of being able to eat better even if they want to by skyrocketing cost of living. These are really broad brush strokes, and hardly scratch the surface of the whole picture, but they're crucial in understanding how things have got to where they are. Most of the farmers interviewed here were old school, used to getting large subsidies in the past, and not seeming interested in listening to advice on new ways of doing things. There are so many people with the knowledge and skills to change British farming for the better, but they need support from their local community, landowners, and yes, the government, though I concur with the feeling that they're so cut off from the reality of farming they're almost incapable of making rational policies at this point. Its time the media started trying to ask better questions, and look to the younger generations for alternative approaches to these issues, instead of subsidising farming practices that are helping destroy the environment, not regenerate it.

Did you even watch the video. One of the main issues was that the farmers are forced to abide by these environmental regulations, while the government imports food from countries without those regulations making them pointless. Because the imported food doesnt follow these environmental practices its much cheaper and our farmers cant compete. One of the farmers mentions this in the video exactly. Either you relax regulations or stop importing cheap food like a bunch of hypocrites.

[@alexandergriffin5828]

huge respect to the commitment and passion of British farmers, but what a relief to find this comment - well done thank you. As you say in your final line, the uncomfortable reality is that we have been "subsidising farming practices that are helping destroy the environment, not regenerate it." While it is correct that we should not allocate blame for this to the farming community, who continue in earnest to work very hard within a compromised system, like it or not, it is the reality. Without incentivising farmers to adopt regenerative farming practice, none of these people, no matter how laudable their efforts, will have farms with soil structure capable of supporting the required yields, nor climactic conditions which will permit any sort of reliable or productive growing season.

Intelligent comment. Cheers

Thank you for this comment! Took the words out of my mouth

[@thewildlayman]

Farm subsidies should be stopped.

[@andyjw26]

One of their biggest issue is greedy retailers wanting the biggest cut for no particular reason

[@jeandubois8810]

? who buy 75p loaf of bead at ASDA ? lol. The culprit, isif any, is free market.

[@paullittle5200]

Totally agree,big corporations are behind alot of the problems that the public face.

[@nathanlewis1631]

We should all get behind the British farmers

It's long term land acquisition via inflation aka intent to permanently deprive land owners aka theft aka Crime 💯

Not all. Don't generalise.

I don't

They'll be after our gardens and allotments next. They don't want you growing your own food. It's all control.🤮🤮
