The above is worth a read.
If you want to know why we have to import so much of our food (46% last year, most European countries are less than 10%), then this is why - Supermarkets call ALL the shots.

Re: Fairer deals for farmers
We import a lot of food because we demand non-native and out of season produce.
We import because we demand cheaper produce and the rest of the world is able to grow and ship to the UK cheaper than UK farmers can supply.
We import because UK farmers ruined their land being greedy by growing single crops year after year instead of rotating.

Re: Fairer deals for farmers
The boxes are re used, Jon. Returned with the next delivery and then used again as they are very sturdy.
