I've been saying for a long time now that we need to eat fewer cultivated crops and more meat for a sustainable future but the eat less meat lobby is strong. We've had livestock for thousands of years and the plough for only a few centuries. Yes, we're eating more meat in the last half century but equally we're eating a lot more fresh produce.
The landscape of the past involved much smaller areas of cultivation on the easier to work patches, while all around, on the less desirable bits, stood wood, heath & marsh, all producing fuel & livestock. Now the meatless crew want us to turn livestock farms over to veg, but none of them are doing it. If you're lucky you'll find some advocates putting their money where their mouth it, but I doubt it'll be on heavy clay or marsh, so it can't be a one size fits all solution. |
