Burning destroys floral diversity, and kills off any young trees that somehow managed to gain height despite the sheep. Only molinia grass comes back.
And that's without even touching on all the animal life wiped out.

Actually, scorched land like this represents an opportunity for regrowth if the sheep could just be removed. It's the free-ranging of sheep that is blighting our rural landscapes in upland areas.

I've just bought in a backup supply of about 75kg of assorted dry pulses + rice.
The worst outcome? I won't need to get any more of these things for quite a while.
All the indications are we're heading into highly unstable times, with a food system totally unfit to cope.

15. I cannot tell you how frustrating it has been, banging my head against this brick wall for so long. Despairing of better policy, I've now started stockpiling food. Though small compensation, it's good to know that industry insiders share my frustrations. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I’ve started a stockpile, but that isn’t the answer. If crisis strikes, the government needs a strategy to protect us all, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot
