Comment by Chris Stevens on January 24, 2010 at 20:16: I think its something like 91 or 92 % of fruit and veg in the UK is grown from abroad
I know if your trying to make a basic living at working at such a vital & important job as a farmer in the UK you get screwed into the ground, unless you dont mind living close to the bread line

Plus it seems in big scale farming nitrogen is being used too extensively which destroys soil and water sources

Comment by Thomas Walmsley on January 19, 2010 at 21:18: This is a great idea but is it realistic? I have joined because I agree but I have no basis. Are we now too reliant on agricutural enhancements to feed our over populated island?
