| Comment | Your description of 'wanton destruction of the biosphere' doesn't really work when it comes to most Scottish farming as most of it is conducted on land that has been agricultural for literally a thousand years and precedes modern industrialised society, is generally low density and diverse, and where the land has no other useful purpose. It isn't like if we stop farming sheep on hills brazilian rainforest is suddenly going to spring into its place, and the caledonian primary forest was pretty much destroyed by demand for wood in the napoleonic era rather than by farming. I'll grant you scottish fish farming is pretty awful for the environment, but is pretty strictly managed by SEPA. |
