I'm not sure Kris. Usual 'intellectual disease' - big on theories, short on practice!!!:-(

I guess however the task might have been put in motion even as we speak. As the meat supplies dwindle, so will other food stocks. As food in general becomes in shorter supply, prices will inevitably increase. Once we get used to higher prices and the food supplies begin to replenish the prices need to be held at that level and then the surplus profits used to get our farming industry back on the right lines.

Lovely theory, but as I said before, weak in practice. The prices will stay high but the extra profits will of course go into someone elses pocket and we will be back to square one.

Anyone economists or polititians out there with a good workable solution?

Cheers
