The future
In spite of the fact that he receives indirect support from
the EU, John is not able to earn a living from dairy farming.
Liz's salary and the income from the holiday cottages help him
stay on the farm. Some EU farmers are better off than him. However,
Mary in Jamaica
receives no help from her government – poorer countries
cannot generally afford to support farmers in this way.
If you look at the
issues, you will see that small farmers all over the world
face certain problems. However, unfair trade rules mean that
they receive different levels of support.
The future of farming affects us all. Globalisation means that
what one country does affects what happens in another. How do
you think our food should be produced? How do you think farmers
around the world should be treated? What rules do you think
should govern world trade? To find out more about what you can
do, visit the Take
action page.
