Farmland ‘vital’ for food production

In these uncertain days the UK must become self-sufficient in food production since it imports 48 per cent of the food consumed.

Why are the UK and Scottish governments allowing good agricultural land to be “rewilded” or turned into solar farms?

Rewilding and solar farms will not feed the nation.

The UK and Scottish governments must for once agree and decree that local authorities refuse planning permission for solar farms and revoke any permission already given.

We are now on a war footing so farmland is vital for food production.

Numerous solar farms and battery storage farms are being built with scant attention to the potential danger of the large lithium-ion battery units which are needed to store the electricity generated by the solar panels before transfer to the National Grid.
