Re: A Sustainable Food Industry for Europe (4.00 / 2)
Jon's opening comments on milk are not entirely wide of the mark, imo. The local market for a quality product at a premium isn't fantasy. And I think the CAP certainly has to change radically. But I obviously don't go with the dismissal of farming (which is a fairly standard brash English attitude).

I fear I can't get back in to develop this until tomorrow.

Later in the conversation I note my daughter makes premium ice cream at a local dairy farm - the market for it is going well even in a recession.  But not every farmer can make butter, cheese, ice cream, chocolate etc.  There is a market for craft produce, but it is always going to be a premium product for a more limited market.
