No farms, no food, no future

Since the start of 2024 there have been farming protests across all EU countries. They are protesting a suite of issues including regulation, economic constraints, political favouritism and often the extreme EU net zero targets which are impacting use of fertilisers and use of land. The EU is doing this to its own members!

Here in the UK the net zero maniacs in the La ...[text shortened]... forever at the mercy of the globalists. The EU loving Labour Party should be ashamed of themselves.

You're wasting your time on this one. Most folks have no idea where their food comes from. The Vegans and the Veggies have no concept that the food they eat comes from farms yet when you cultivate the land you kill every animal living in that soy field. They ignore the small farms and claim factory farms are the issue even though if you took factory farms away, most people in N. America would have next to no food. We keep plowing under farm land to build houses with no thought about where the food will come from to feed the people who buy those houses. The EGS crowd is so focussed on taking money from people and giving it to other people and are finding new ways to find wealth and steal it from you to give to someone who did NOTHING for it other than be born.

The new entitlement generation combined with the slightly older Guilted generation are making a TONNE of money out of this issue by making sure they identify a "problem" and then lobby for tonnes of cash be given to them so that they can "solve" it. That's quite the racquet. This stuff is the new snake oil, 21st Century style.

It will only get worse until we elect some leaders who will stand up to this pillaging.

What are you talking about?

Vegetarians are well aware that a healthy soil biome includes mini-critters. A lot of vegetarians also prefer organic food which lowers the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. AND they tend to recycle compost locally.

It takes much less land and water to feed a vegetarian than to produce the Western "high meat" diet, so if the world was vegetarian, the planet would be a lot healthier.

That's a good point.

Even putting aside climate change, farming industries still harm the very land they use, as well as the local wildlife, lakes, streams, rivers and drain the reserve water supply needed by average citizens.

It’s because of the success of crop rotation.
The bad thing about it is that it depletes the land over time and is susceptable to crop failures.

Crop diversity (as in more variation of plants in each field), is far more sustainable.
Makes it a bit more expensive though.
