Dozens of green campaigners are calling on the Government to support farmers and address the “broken” state of England’s agriculture sector.

The Wildlife Trusts and WWF are among numerous groups who have signed a letter to Environment Secretary Steve Reed raising the alarm about what they describe as unfair supply chains and funding for nature-friendly farming.

This is important.

As much as UK, farms have been a tax investment for some (Clarkson and others). The points he makes about how hard it is to profit from farming. Also lead to the land being used this way.

Now the government have removed some of the advantage. If the UK wants to keep any food independence and also reduce travel CO2 harm from our food.

Then we need to at least replace the funding UK farmers had from the EU.

(And ignore the vocal ones that argued for Brexit. As dumb as some farmer were, it's not all. But this is about the future of the nation and world, not individuals)
