Feed the nation

THE wheat harvest could be down by 40 per cent due to unseasonable weather, which will mean an increase in the price of bread (Mail).

We are seeing housing estates being built on greenfield land that could be producing our food. Farmers are keeping livestock in overcrowded buildings on unnatural diets and using antibiotics to stop disease.

there needs to be radical thinking on how to feed the nation.
