We asked the environment agency if they considered food security, before they planned to flood the fertile land around the Humber in order to provide mud for the birds. The E agency replied that they had asked DEFRA ( our government department for food & rural affairs) about food security & DEFRA said they did not know what food security was......

]]> Comment on Rebecca Hoskins - A Farm for the Future by Celia http://peakfood.co.uk/2009/03/rebecca-hoskins-a-farm-for-the-future/comment-page-1/#comment-169 Celia Fri, 01 May 2009 06:39:03 +0000 http://peakfood.co.uk/2009/03/rebecca-hoskins-a-farm-for-the-future/#comment-169 Hey, I actually agreed with the idea of lots of small woodland and hedge farms. In the programme it said one acre of normal farmland could usually feed 5 people. But in this new way of farming they can feed 10 people per acre. Therefore you would need half the space! Then of course it's much better for wildlife and the people who run it only have to work about 5 hours a week. We could still have wheat and other crops, but you could cut these between woodland areas in small squares, as they actually grow better this way. Having 'gardens' instead of farms seems like a good idea to me - it gives attention to detail, which is extremely important. And it's probably what our ancestors did - after all, they couldn't use a tractor, could they!? And it looks as though the time may be soon when we can't either.

This must make a difference to our ability to feed ourselves. I was wondering if you think that our high population will make it difficult for us or if there is a good way to feed Britain in the future.
