Good news if the land has been re-purposed for food diversification. We import carrots, garlic, cabbage, lettuce, potatoes!, broccoli, onions, wheat. Almost all our vegetables and all our fruit are imported.
Meanwhile we export 90%+ beef and 94% of dairy products. Grazing/pasture consumes around 94% of farmland. Growing fodder for the herd takes up further land.
It’s madness. We need to move towards greater food independence and sovereignty. Reducing the cattle and dairy herd is an absolute necessity to achieve this. Let alone the environmental reasons.
