Petition End policies that lessen farming land area, yield or viability
We believe that the UK's food security could be jeopardised by 'Green', 'Nature', 'Re-wilding, 'Net Zero' and 'Sustainable' polices that lead to farmland going permanently out of production, reduce the yield or impose other restrictions or costs.
More details
The UK only produces part of its food needs. We consider that repurposing any farmland for 'Green', 'Nature', Re-wilding, 'Net Zero' and 'Sustainable' policies can only increase our vulnerability to food insecurity. We consider that the agricultural viability and income of farms MUST be strongly protected, maintained and guaranteed in ALL 'Green', 'Nature' Re-wilding, 'Net Zero' & 'Sustainable' policies to safeguard ALL farming and farmers that produce food for us from farmland.
