    Fuck farming. It’s a dirty industry.

    That’s kind of a wild takeaway… Personally I like not having to grow my own food. And a huge amount of efficiency is gained with large scale farming compared to small farms or personal growing.

    Unsustainable subsidies aren’t okay, and we should strive for more environmentally friendly farms, but farming itself is not one of our problems.

      I acknowledge that it’s a wild take, and I want to stir up shit.

      However, in Denmark m, we do not benefit from a domestic production at all, because it’s mostly shipped out of the country for feeding livestock elsewhere.

      Most of the food available to me is from Ukraine or Spain. I do not have the option to eat donestically produced foods, yet 60+ of the land around me is used for farming.

      I absolutely apploud the few farmers who do have local distribution, but those only account for very few percentages of our land.
