According to the new EU Agriculture Commissioner, Europe is losing 1000 farms every day, and it can only get worse as the weight of the coming carbon taxes kills off many more. If I was a conspiracy theorist I might put this together with the degradation of the land, air and water and the move towards lab-produced food and come up with a Soylent Green type scenario.
Let's hope that producing food in a more sustainable fashion does not mean producing it in a laboratory.
