    Food security? Stammer and Raynor want to build 1.5 million houses over our food production land. What will our food security be then? What percentage of our food will we import? Labour have put an inheritance tax on farmers which will destroy a considerable percentage of them. They will need to sell, their land, which developers will buy under Labour plan. Coincidence?

      Even Labour and their Bolshevik worshiping plans are just symptoms of a country thats been lost to greed! Capitalism, globalism and liberalism have all in equal measures sunk this country. Now we have an island 2.5x smaller than France but with the same population thats so divided we could easily see further sectarian conflict. Labour are a disaster, but a disaster operating in chaos. On the current path this country has collapsed state written all over it.

    A very good report really. It’s not just inheritance tax that farmers are protesting about though. They will face massively increased tax on fertiliser, pickups and more costs for employing people all because of labour. The torques didn’t do any favours with their terrible trade deals and lack of encouragement for food production but they are far less bad than labours new budget.

    Interesting data. However, it’s only covering supply which doesn’t look too bad. If we compare it to the demand, due to population increase, then the data wouldn’t look so good.
    Maybe it should have been ‘how many tonne wheat per capita’.
    Simply looking at productivity isn’t enough to thoroughly understand the situation.

    The EU paid farmers ( scottish perspective here ) to grow trees on land that could of been used to grow food. Because of Green targets it actually was more cost effective not to grow anything we could eat and take a payment from the EU for trees. At least now that's gone they are forced to grow food be that animal or plant.

      Farmers are an extremely small portion of the voting population. If they alone voted for brexit it wouldn’t have made a difference. It was only because over 50% of the rest of the population voted that we left the EU. Some farmers also certainly did not vote for brexit.
