Some of us have for many years been calling out the catastrophic price nature has been paying for turning Ireland into one big, ever more industrialised, livestock ranch. This is the other side of it: the increasing danger of severe food shortages, with 83% of our fruit and veg currently imported.

Good thread but the key of it is: It is actually the government’s responsibility to assure food security for their citizens / residents. They have very much handed this responsibility over to the supermarkets and because profit trumps all, supermarkets have reduced warehouse stocks bit by bit…
