You can ignore the BBC’s fear porn about the increased cost of petrochemical inputs and listen to Professor Tim Lang explain that we can feed the nation without chemical inputs.

Tim Lang; “We could produce enough food, but the balance of what is produced and where it goes would change. The big quick point to make, and it’s very complex to actually deliver, is you stop growing vast amounts of grain to then feed to animals who are poor converters. We use land for grain based on artificial fertilisers, this is cheap food but it’s not actually cheap, it’s vulnerable, it’s not resilient, and it has all sorts of implications for ecology and public health and now national security.”
