People are replying to this tweet saying they’d fine eating 100% local as they have a supermarket local to them. I know botanists don’t deal well with non literal humour, but the most depressing thing is I am pretty positive this was made seriously.

W’out doubt we can produce way more food - rural and urban - with an array of regen’tve ag practices. If g’ment & people like James really got behind the concept rather than knocking reasonable aspirations to transform the current damaging food system we’d be in a better place

Reality doesn’t change simply because people chose to really, really believe in the contrary.

So as a leader in this area your best contribution to this problem is to say we would die? How about something more helpful that perhaps encourages transition? Because continuing on the same track sure as hell isn't going to work out well.

Yes. The helpful thing is to point out that we shouldn’t & couldn’t. In the same way that it’s helpful to point out people shouldn’t voluntarily do insane things. And unhelpful to suggest how we try to cope in vain with the consequences of choosing to do insane things.

Not everyone would die of starvation. A lot of people do eat 100% local. Many give up the diversity of food available from far away. Can all humans do this, no. Urban areas are food unsustainable. Correct statement is ‘it depends.’
-
‘Not everyone would die of starvation’ and ‘We would die of starvation’ are of course the same statement, unless you don’t count the deaths of others in your community.

“We would die from starvation”?! By “we” I assume you mean “the south East”? For Scotland produces more food than it consumes, just the same as it does with electricity. We’d feed ourselves and have enough to send food to N.England So by “we” I’m reading you say “the South East”
