As Sue Pritchard argues, what we really need to do in the UK is reduce farming's dependence on fossil fuels, and that requires some rethinking of how farming is organised... from diversifying crop rotation to feeding livestock on pasture, from better husbandry of soil to non-fertiliser approaches to crop support, there are plenty of avenues of development.
This might also contribute to a fairer more democratic food system, and so would be a win for us all.
