&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The focus on producing surplus and cheap food threatens the survival of the country&amp;rsquo;s smaller farms, Prince Charles said, adding that if these farms disappear, &amp;lsquo;it will rip the heart out of the British countryside.&amp;rsquo; The warning has been sounded at a time when a global business data platform estimates the number of employed and self-employed farmers in the UK to have come down to just 1.07 lakh.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;IN a recent BBC Radio broadcast, Prince Charles said: &amp;ldquo;How we produce food has a direct impact on the earth&amp;rsquo;s capacity to sustain us, which has a direct impact on human health and economic prosperity.&amp;rdquo; The clamour for producing cheap food, which is at the very foundation of the mad race towards an unfettered economic growth, is actually based on externalising the &amp;lsquo;hidden costs&amp;rsquo; of modern industrial farming.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The focus on producing surplus and cheap food threatens the very survival of the country&amp;rsquo;s smaller farms, Prince Charles said, adding that if these small farms disappear, &amp;ldquo;it will rip the heart out of the British countryside.&amp;rdquo; The warning has been sounded at a time when Statista, a global business data platform, estimates the total number of employed and self-employed farmers in the UK to have come down drastically to a mere 1,07,000 in 2020.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In many ways, his warning finds reverberations in the iconic farmers&amp;rsquo; movement being witnessed in India, wherein the protesters appear to be worried about the possibility of their livelihoods being usurped by big agri-business companies once the Central farm laws are implemented. In addition, although 86 per cent of India&amp;rsquo;s farmlands are below 2 hectares, categorised as small and marginal, the advent of the Green Revolution in the mid-1960s emphasising on the need to intensify production per unit of land, has come at a huge cost. Instead of making a long overdue correction, more of the same is now being pushed by facilitating the entry of big agri-business companies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The focus on producing surplus and cheap food threatens the survival of the country&amp;rsquo;s smaller farms, Prince Charles said, adding that if these farms disappear, &amp;lsquo;it will rip the heart out of the British countryside.&amp;rsquo; The warning has been sounded at a time when a global business data platform estimates the number of employed and self-employed farmers in the UK to have come down to just 1.07 lakh.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;IN a recent BBC Radio broadcast, Prince Charles said: &amp;ldquo;How we produce food has a direct impact on the earth&amp;rsquo;s capacity to sustain us, which has a direct impact on human health and economic prosperity.&amp;rdquo; The clamour for producing cheap food, which is at the very foundation of the mad race towards an unfettered economic growth, is actually based on externalising the &amp;lsquo;hidden costs&amp;rsquo; of modern industrial farming.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The focus on producing surplus and cheap food threatens the very survival of the country&amp;rsquo;s smaller farms, Prince Charles said, adding that if these small farms disappear, &amp;ldquo;it will rip the heart out of the British countryside.&amp;rdquo; The warning has been sounded at a time when Statista, a global business data platform, estimates the total number of employed and self-employed farmers in the UK to have come down drastically to a mere 1,07,000 in 2020.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In many ways, his warning finds reverberations in the iconic farmers&amp;rsquo; movement being witnessed in India, wherein the protesters appear to be worried about the possibility of their livelihoods being usurped by big agri-business companies once the Central farm laws are implemented. In addition, although 86 per cent of India&amp;rsquo;s farmlands are below 2 hectares, categorised as small and marginal, the advent of the Green Revolution in the mid-1960s emphasising on the need to intensify production per unit of land, has come at a huge cost. Instead of making a long overdue correction, more of the same is now being pushed by facilitating the entry of big agri-business companies.&lt;/p&gt;

The huge cost of producing cheap food -Devinder Sharma

-The Tribune The focus on producing surplus and cheap food threatens the survival of the country’s smaller farms, Prince Charles said, adding that if these farms disappear, ‘it will rip the heart out of the British countryside.’ The warning has been sounded at a time when a global business data platform estimates the number of employed and self-employed farmers in the UK to have come down to just 1.07 lakh. IN a recent BBC Radio broadcast, Prince Charles said: “How we produce food has a direct impact on the earth’s capacity to sustain us, which has a direct impact on human health and economic prosperity.” The clamour for producing cheap food, which is at the very foundation of the mad race towards an unfettered economic growth, is actually based on externalising the ‘hidden costs’ of modern industrial farming. The focus on producing surplus and cheap food threatens the very survival of the country’s smaller farms, Prince Charles said, adding that if these small farms disappear, “it will rip the heart out of the British countryside.” The warning has been sounded at a time when Statista, a global business data platform, estimates the total number of employed and self-employed farmers in the UK to have come down drastically to a mere 1,07,000 in 2020. In many ways, his warning finds reverberations in the iconic farmers’ movement being witnessed in India, wherein the protesters appear to be worried about the possibility of their livelihoods being usurped by big agri-business companies once the Central farm laws are implemented. In addition, although 86 per cent of India’s farmlands are below 2 hectares, categorised as small and marginal, the advent of the Green Revolution in the mid-1960s emphasising on the need to intensify production per unit of land, has come at a huge cost.
