Labour Urges Farmers to Stop Raising Cattle and Grow Lentils Instead in Net Zero Push

Government’s 'Farming Roadmap' outlines intention to help British farmers wind down 'high-emission' farming

Labour has urged British farmers to stop raising cattle and grow lentils instead as part of a Net Zero push. GB News has more.

The Government published its highly-anticipated ‘Farming Roadmap’ on Wednesday, outlining its long-term vision for Britain’s agriculture sector.

The 71-page document outlined the Government’s intention to help British farmers wind down high-emission farming – including cattle – and move towards “growing oilseeds and pulses” for planet-based products.

“Farmers will play a critical role in delivering this transition by adopting practices that reduce emissions while sustaining productive, commercially viable businesses,” the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) wrote.

The roadmap is widely regarded as a bid from Labour to get back in rural Britain’s good books amid continued fury over Rachel Reeves’s family farm tax.

Farmers urge Labour to get the hell out of the way and let people who actually know something about farming (i.e. them) feed the planet.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Better yet, Labour never again have any power to destroy Britain.
