The UK needs to STOP growing! (Out the EU I say)

Its called globalisation moron

I don't do Geography....

It's basic economics mate. But i dont think you're smart enough to know about globalisation when you are stupid enough to think the cause of food shortages is because of the immigrants.

There is food from imports at the moment however with global warming, there will be major effects on many of our food suppliers so we need there to be a secure food route which is why we need to cap our population and have food security through self sufficiency.

Get it in your head mate. Other countries have a comparative advantage and so do we. We cannot become self sufficient.

Ironically, there are many migrant workers who work in agriculture. In some cases its as much as 60% Do the maths, you'll find sending migrants away has no effect.

Have you read about the issues we will face and why we need self sufficiency?
I don't think you have.

We got little need for immigrants in the farming industry as new developments come in to place like these:

Actually, as a member of the farming industry, we do need migrant workers. Worth a read if you have the inclination: http://www.fwi.co.uk/news/analysis-farmings-access-to-labour-if-the-UK-left-the-eu.htm

If they need these immigrants and we leave they will have to live up to employing the British on a possibly higher wage or buying equipment.

If you read the article then it says that Britons have no desire to have very seasonal and informal work such as picking vegetables. Buying equipment that may not produce as good a quality and requires a large capital investment that frankly is unrealistic to many farms. Also, hand picked vegetables are less likely to be damaged by machinery and therefore fewer will be rejected by supermarkets that require cosmetic perfection

Morrisons tried selling the rejects, they had some success and still do it as far as I am aware.

How about the government supply farmers with the equipment to pick and then the government can then take all the produce and distribute it as part of one of my previous posts.

So farmers now work for the government? Isn't this communism?

We could possibly grow a lot of these in large greenhouses.

How about in the future of self sufficiency people pay more tax (covering as shopping bills). The government buy in all the UK produce each year with this money and distribute it out evenly to the UK population allowing people to have a varied diet and keeping farmers growing and supporting self sufficiency.

Are you a communist? Thats what the Soviet government used to do and they were always short of food hence the long queues outside shops.

It would work differently. I want to make clear I don't want to make everything communist.

There will be no food stores as food will be a need managed by the government reducing obesity and keeping everyone fed.

At least the government won't need to grow any nuts.
