Must admit surprised arla is involved as its farmer owned and run.
Farmers and farmers orgs need to look at the disaster that basc and others have made of defending shooting.
They need to learn from their total failures and take a leaf out the antis book and go on the attack esp on social media if u can find a weak point
The big thing farmers should be doing is debunking this myth.
I just cant see cows producing this much methane and it causing so much global warming..
Esp the way most live nowadays fancy foriegn holidays, needless journeys and electric things for everything etc
And never mind the fact this will be driven by vegeies/vegans.
There arguement would be far stronger if they only ate uk grown vege in season, so tatties, neeps, carrots etc
Uk farmers really need to start a PR campign highlighting the carbon footprint of fancy foriegn vege or even vege out of season ( strawberries all year round etc)
They should also be looking at this lab grown meat crap, i have very little idea ( or interest) about it.
But looking at carbon footprints and exctly how its made/grown.
I persume its GM?
As it will be a future threat to farmers and they will have plenty money to throw at it.
Not good uf it undermines confidence in milk/dairy or even farming in general.
1 thing i will say is they do have to be careful with this type off thing.
Even if it is 100% safe u wont know tgat for decades and if theyre wrong its far too late by then.
Lets face it scientists dont always have the best track record when it comes to agri.
U had anti biotics in milk caising anti biotic immunity in humans in some local areas decades ago, scrapie, bse etc.
is this going to be the next vaccine catastrophe? Ffs can they stop F ing about with our food ???
