Britain/UK can be self supportive...
They just aren't.
In order to protect the population they instituted margin controls on the sale of goods. There's a ton of laws that have to be successfully navigated for farmers of all sorts to make a profit. And for many it's much easier and more profitable to sell the land and take the interest on the money....much riskier to actually farm where the losses can add up quickly.
And with the original quarantines many farmers went bankrupt being unable to sell the crops they had originally invested large sums of money into.
Small farm Meat production is almost always a losing game. (Less than 1,000 head and insufficient land that produces the feed and water)
so...they have many issues to overcome.... about 30% of their farmers are belly up. Imports and logistics are hiccuping. Exports are as well.
Some real LEADERSHIP would be most welcome at this time by the population.
