What the petition asks
We would like the government to protect our agricultural / farmland for food production and not allow it to be used for building houses or other projects that would harm the soil or stop it producing food for our nation.
The UK on average only produces around 50% of the food eaten by its population, with global warming, changing the weather around the world, the UK should no longer rely on vast amounts of food from other countries to feed us, it is important that we retain the ability to feed our population, preventing food shortages and starvation in future years.
Only by protecting our farmland will we be able to meet this need for food, if it is no longer available from abroad.
