Letter to the I: Food Security

Bryony Nierop-Reading's letter referred to the problem of food security in this country.  With respect I believe they are too idealistic in believing that we can gain anything close to food self sufficiency. Our island has not been food self sufficient for centuries even when the population was much smaller than it is now.  This is bad in that strategically this makes us vulnerable to nation-states blockading our island nation.  But it is good in that no matter how much the nativists dislike it, we need to reach out to foreign partners to communicate and trade with.  Our geographic dilemma also means keeping in mind the importance of maintaining a strong Royal Navy.
