@AgroBioDiverse @foodingreenwich How many boxes of micro greens before I could afford one of these http://modernfarmer.com/2017/07/aquaponics-home-modern-farmer-review-turnkey-aquaponics-systems-leve...
I just know I'm going to regret this. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of my life.

My old mucker in fine form. To whit:
For in truth, the reasons why so many people in Britain cannot afford food that’s good and fresh has almost nothing to do with the cost of production; and the reasons farmers go bust has almost nothing to do with their supposed “inefficiency”; and the current obsession in high places with robots and GMOs and industrial chemistry is a horrible perversion of science and a huge waste of money which, in the end, is public money. Food is too expensive for more and more people in well-heeled Britain for three main reasons, none of which has anything directly to do with the cost of production, and none of which is alleviated by attempts to make production more “efficient” by sacking people, joining big farms into big estates, or festooning the whole exercize with high-tech. Attempts to mitigate rising prices in the short term by buying more from the world at large will only transfer misery elsewhere, as indigenous agricultures everywhere that evolved to serve the needs of their people are replaced by industrialized monocultures owned by corporates, to provide commodity crops for export.
Not that anyone who needs to is listening.
I know this is all over the place. I want it here, for reference.
That's the trouble with the internet. You got to a site because somebody smart pointed to something interesting, and bang! There goes the afternoon.

Seconds later: ... Nope, Quill does not speak Markdown.
