What Has Happened To All Of Our Food?

One ray of light amongst the global recession is the rapid increase in farming. 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. 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. The consequences of these actions will mean that food is going to be expensive to produce in the UK. If you think about how much the country consumes. There simply is not enough farmers to cater.
The English government has recently committed to a new program for farmers to ultimately make all their expenses a less expensive than before. Farmers will surely be able to develop their crops and produce food for a much cheaper rate than before. Ideally we all want to see farmers care for the 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 about it? Well, in my opinion that government has acted fast by developing new laws to lower expenses incurred by farmers ultimately making their lives easier to produce food for the nation. 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.
