How Net-Zero Policies Are Destroying British Agriculture

farming tractorA recent Epoch Times article describes how the British government’s efforts to attain net-zero carbon dioxide emissions are hindering British agriculture, leading to food shortages that will likely get worse.

The author, Owen Evans, interviews British farmers who say that government incentives and climate initiatives have resulted in farmers reducing the amount of land they devote to farming. [emphasis, links added]


In the article, “DEFRA’s Net Zero Policies Contributing to Fruit & Vegetable Shortages, Warn British Farmers,” Evans describes how recent shortages of fruits and vegetables in British supermarkets are being caused, in part, by the government policies that actively discourage food production.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
