A farmer ploughing up centuries old permanent pasture would almost certainly fail a Natural England Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and be open to prosecution.
But a developer…….laughing all the way to his yacht!
“I buy avocados that are grown in Mexico and shipped to the UK.”
“I buy tomatoes that are grown in Morocco and shipped to the UK.”
“I buy quinoa that is grown in Bolivia and shipped to the UK.”
"Red meat from local UK farmers should be reduced. It’s bad for the planet.”

😑 Over the past 30 years, the UK has lost some 771,000ha of farmland (-4.4%), contributing to a 12% decline in food self-sufficiency.

None of these farms exist
All are works of fiction by @Tesco supermarkets
This #FarmWashing practice should be made illegal, it deceives consumers and makes nonsense of @RedTractorFood traceability
Food labelling should be clear, country of origin should be clear #BuyBritish
There gonna be food price inflation like you’ve never seen before
You can’t dismantle production subsidies, kill the environmental replacement, take land out of production, raise taxes and allow farmers to be screwed and not expect supply to fall and prices rise rapidly
How is crippling family businesses for the long term a real improvement?
How is making it more expensive for employers to employ people a real improvement? Growth happens through job creation, it doesn’t come from taxing the country into oblivion. It’s really not rocket science.
The Conservatives sent this country backwards, but my Plan for Change will show the path ahead to fix Britain.
We will relentlessly drive real improvements in the lives of working people.
This will be the most ambitious yet honest programme for government in a generation.
Govt has spent 8 years telling farmers to get on the nature friendly farming train, they’ve eliminated direct payments to force uptake, now due to ‘exceptional’ demand, they’re slamming the door.
*A budget frozen since 2014 is not ‘the largest ever’!

Steve Reed originally came across as capable. He said they wouldn’t change APR.
His performance on breakfast tv this morning was everything you loathe about this Government’s performance. Illiterate nonsense repeatedly churned out.
Labour don’t understand farmers & farming, and they certainly don’t understand how fragile modern supply chains are. What would happen if no milk, eggs, animals or grain left the farm gate for 72 hours…?
Brutal on #BBCLauraK - Reeves simply cannot defend the tax hike on farmers.
When a real case study is presented to her, where a family would have to find over a million for the tax man if their parent died, all she had for them was "umm, err, well".
