We need people to start to think where their food comes from. Take pork for example, most people will buy the cheapest bacon they can find but never think that the methods used to rear and slaughter the pigs would see a British farmer in court or jail. The public are always in uproar when they read a farmer has used cruel farming methods and then the same people will nip to tesco for the cheapest imported bacon.

They don't think why its cheap, they just buy it. People will buy the cheapest milk not thinking who is losing out, because it is not the supermarket who loses out. It's not just farming, clothing also. How much do they think the factory workers are paid in China when they buy a top for £4.00. That is another story for another day though. <abbr><em>Seb’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.lets-do-diy.com/News/New-saws-from-Draper-Tools.aspx" rel="nofollow">New saws from Draper Tools</a></em></abbr> People will buy whatever is cheapest.

The work of farmers will chance. Thet production of food will get less important but their care of nature, culture and invirement will become their main issue. Not only keeping their land clean, but also preserving the vieuws, teaching children and protecting indangered animals. Look at The Netherlands where gouverment rules made the farmers keeping their cows in the stables to prevent air and water pollution. The non-farming people rose up to the gouverment and now the farmers are paid to keep the cows outside in the summer. Good point Sally!
