(cont'd from yesterday's posts)
Maybe the farmers are right, in a way, about being disrespected. You'd think that food producers would have a "say" in national discussions about food. But it looks like the decision to reduce food production and the size of farms is a done deal. It's moving ahead.
Food production does create pollutants. But does it follow that the solution is to cut off food production? Isn't that awfully drastic? No, the politicians are just fine with that. "The end result is expected to be close to a one-third reduction in the numbers of pigs, cows and chickens in the country.
One of them says, “We have to move away from the low-cost model of food production.” So his plan for his country is that food will become more expensive and less accessible.
There must be a better way to solve this than to force food insecurity on the people.
