We currently produce sufficient food to feed ~40 million people, so 8 times our own requirements, so reducing the production of a few farms isn't going to impact our ability to survive, and those 'lost farms' aren't going anywhere, they will just change their land usage.
We need to be self-reliant and produce all the goods we need here ourselves.
When it comes to food production, thats even more important, we loose our farms, then who will supply us the food?
Dont count on it staying that way for long, I know a few farmers who already walked away long before all this crap was announced.
We will see more farms turned into pine forest, mark my words.
