Given the ever increasing demand for and price of staples like wheat, dairy, meat and fish isn't it time our glorious leaders did more to support and encourage farming in the UK? Yes, severe droughts in Australia have contributed to the problem but demand is only going in one direction and do we really want to be as reliant on foreign countries for food as we are for fuels and manufactured goods?
