It imports just shy of 2.5 billion tonnes a year ....... remember we are talking about the industry I’m in, I probably look at export and import amounts and prices pretty much every day. We are not self sufficient in food production at all, and we are constantly removing ground from food production. Also our production costs are going up rapidly and many folk are lowering their output, in order to lower input. Out soils are also degrading fast, and will not support the same level of food production etc. 5 1 Quote Link to post

We are also planting trees, rewilding, building towns. Our productive farm land is shrinking at a rate of knots. 6 Quote Link to post
