European Tribune - Comments - Why do the British prefer cheap food to rich farmers?

Why do the British prefer cheap food to rich farmers? | 29 comments (29 topical, 0 editorial, 0 hidden)

It will be interesting to see what effect the expected climate change will have on European agricultural policy. Changes to the Gulf Stream may make the UK much more Wintery. This happened before during the "little ice age" about four hundred years ago.

Energy policy can be expected to need a change as well. Just another example of how seeking short-term political gain works against sustainable solutions.

TIf the climate get cooler Europe might have to resort to using more greenhouses. Interestingly, in Spanish those are called invernaderos or "winter houses".

guaranteed to evoke a violent reaction from police is to challenge their right to "define the situation." --- David Graeber citing Marc Cooper
