Listen, I’m not one to scoff at a nice serving of fish ‘n’ chips, but when you’re serving baked beans for breakfast…that’s where I draw the line. You guessed it, we’re talking about the decline of British agriculture today.
Protests by farmers broke out on Tuesday, which highlight the growing issues with British agriculture. The Brits have been relying on imported food for quite some time (which opened their eyes to what real food tastes like), but that’s all going away.
Brexit has worsened the already declining agricultural industry by severing access to EU imports (to say nothing of EU subsidies) without an alternative source in place. Since local farming struggles with high costs and low quality, Britain will likely remain uncompetitive or be forced into an unsavory deal with new imports.
