A friend of mine told me that the British soil lack the minerals needed to grow vegetables and hence England has trouble growing a variety of vegetables. Is that true? |

You can grow most things here, so long as you take into account the weather. It is rather fertile. |

Britain has a brilliant temperate climate for growing most things, and the soil is excellent. Whats left of it anyhow. I still get mad about heathrow. Some of the best farming land in western europe, and we fucking tarmacked it and then spent the ensuing decades poisoning the rest with aviation fuel , and yet they still talk about expanding it, covering more farmland and ruining it forever because of a relatively short lived transport fad. The planes will almost all be gone by the half century, but people will still need to eat and all that'll be left is a useless expanse of concrete and unfarmable land. |

England used to be covered almost entirely in forest, and that sort of land isn't ideal for agriculture. Land suited to forests tends to stagnate if farmed and takes a long time to renew naturally. |

Sustainable agriculture in this country depends on livestock. Without animals being farmed for meat, we'd have to rely too heavily on synthetic fertilisers. This is an uncomfortable truth and presents wider problems when it comes to atmospheric pollution. |

And also, nitrate vulnerable zones are a problem caused by farmers using fertilisers aggressively to get yields high as possible. |
