UK's food system is broken. A green new deal 4 agriculture could b revolutionary

This is unfortunately a typical piece by ideological people completely detached from reality, combined with a public largely ignorant of history (which is an issue with the British education system in which history is barely taught as a compulsory subject).<p>For instance, people should immediately recognise this:<p>&quot;<i>the establishment of community land trusts – non-profit, democratic organisations that own and work land for the benefit of local people.</i>&quot;<p>Been there, done that [1].<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Kolkhoz" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Kolkhoz</a>

We&#x27;re entering a period where strategic improvement in national food sufficiency is good. We&#x27;re not talking juche principle, just a bit better than we do.<p>Britain will always need imports. It could do better at what it grows for domestic consumption and export.
