Yes, we would be. But then it happens again and again and again and before you know it there's hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland dedicated to solar panels. Not to mention new housing developments that are literally everywhere. Farmland is being eroded constantly.

Farmland and agriculture is being eroded and legislated against growing food, but no one ever mentions the amount of carbon storage in farmland.

"Going after farming" - how exactly? What way would you suggest going after people that rear livestock and grow food?

This video explains things better than I could, it was made in relation to the farming documentary on BBC a couple of years ago.

It won't take a huge amount to create a food emergency, we are already net importers of food. Take away more food production and we are then importing MORE food. Where does it go from there?
We import food mostly through choice, both in what we eat like rice or tomatoes and price like said cheap tomatoes from Holland. We should eat more locally and eat less meat.

We like all nations should be cutting CO2 from farming, the Dutch, Germans and Belgians had riots when they wanted to cut the Co2 farms produced by example using fertilisers. 140,000 km2 is farmed in the uk 230km2 is used for solar, it is ridiculous to say its causing a great impact on farming. There is 5 times more land used as Golf courses than used for solar in the UK and 2 times more land used as airports

Climate change is the biggest danger facing the world but no one actually really wants to do anything about it
