One hope that we have amoungst this recession is the growing need for farmers across the country
Farming across England has dramatically increased by a tremendous 36% since last year and is set to increase even more.
In 2008 the UK was subject to a sudden rise in food prices which hit the nation hard.
Every supermarket added a little bit more on to each item to accommodate for the lack of food coming into the country.
After all our farmers can no way supply food to the entire nation so we rely on imports from other countries.
Therefore any food that is produced in this country is going to be quite expensive.
If you think about how much the country consumes.
There simply is not enough farmers to cater.
The UK government has recently committed a new program for farmers to ultimately make all their expenses a lot cheaper.
With a bit of luck this will help farmers from around the country to produce food for cheaper.
Ideally we all want to see farmers care for our land as they seek to produce as much as possible, in a sustainable way and with high welfare standards.
This is what society want’s to see happen.
Could we be looking at a mass shortage in food across the country over the coming years?
I sincerely hope not and I know that many people across the country would not want to give up their weekly takeaways for anyone.
So what can we do to solve this problem?
Well, in my opinion the government has acted fast by developing new laws to lower expenses incurred by farmers ultimately making their lives easier to produce food for the many.
Yet the number of farmers is dramatically reducing in the country with hundreds of farms abandoned and not producing anything what so ever.
I am confident that nothing too serious can come of this but you have to ask yourself if we are being as economical as possible to ensure our future generations a safe future.
