then they will have to cut domestic water consumption


Don't forget vegetables.. but it's all worth it.. even the heart disease,
etc.
And what about remaining native flora and fauna.. Who cares, eh, jim.


exactly so they are going to have to cut domestic water consumption, because
there is enough water falling for agriculture, whatever sort of agriculture
you want.


yep, and large areas in the UK, because that is where we produce our
livestock here, is permanent pasture because it is unsuitable for
arable
cultivation

Arable land is, but a significant percentage is being used for
feedcrops.


in the UK a lot of arable land is incapable of growing bread making wheat
and can only grow feed wheat, but as global warming increases we'll
probably
be able to grow bread making wheat


'WHETHER you're an avid baker or know next to nothing about
making bread, visiting the Watermill in Little Salkeld, Cumbria,
will make you want to get stuck in.
..


yep, as I said, we grow very little breadmaking wheat in the UK.

That is why we import bread making wheat, because we don't have the sunshine
that we need to guarantee production

I'm glad you've noticed OSR, you'll see a lot more of it when the EU turns
over 50% of our arable acreage for biodiesel
But you still haven't said where your food comes from I note
