Six decades of government-backed policies promoting agribusiness and pharmaceutical inputs over sustainable farming practices have created a perfect storm. The policies have led to a loss of soil nourishment and biodiversity, making the nation vulnerable to food shortages.
Historically, the country has maintained a 60% self-sufficiency rate in home production, but this figure has been declining and the UK’s domestically produced food is now at 32% of requirements.
Additionally, the modern consumer is ingesting a toxic and nutrient-depleted diet and major supermarket chains hold significantly less food reserve than before.
The future of farming and food production is under threat as oligarchs and their collaborators suggest that traditional farming may not be needed in the near future. This is all linked to global initiatives related to achieving net zero emissions, which are impacting agricultural production worldwide.
Julian Rose warns that there is little time left to act and avert a full-scale food/farming crisis. The UK must reverse its top-down approach and adopt sustainable agricultural practices to ensure food security and sovereignty. Failure to do so will result in a protracted process of starvation, with devastating consequences for the nation’s health, economy, and social fabric.

After three months of relentless rain from March to the end of May 2024 covering much of the productive land in the UK, farmers found themselves months behind in getting their spring crops in the soil.
Many of these farms are already suffering a dangerous nutrient deficit; soils depleted after four to five decades of agrichemically dependent monocultural mining operations that have reduced the top six inches of soils – normally alive with microscopic insects and worms – to little more than dead matter entirely dependent on synthetic nitrate
