    Around 70% of UK land is used for agriculture, the rest is not suitable for such use, and we have not been self reliant for many decades.

    That leaves 26% we could build on by the way.

    Besides, agriculture accounts for just 1.8% of UK GDP, it's simply not economically viable to continue reserving so much of it for inefficient uses.

    You think like a hedge fund manager, chasing performance over the next quarter. I believe that sometimes a more conservative long term approach is needed. More HSBC than RBS. :)
