Minister to meet farmers over possible food shortages due to invasion of Ukraine
With the current war in Ukraine and possible shortages how much of that shortfall if any can our farmers make up?
Do we have the land, the weather, the machinery, the expertise and the infrastructure to produce more?
With the EU are we allowed to incentivise home food production to get a better level of food security?
Regarding wheat for bread my understanding is that we can't grow the sort of wheat here to make anything other than soda bread. There just isn't enough protein/gluten in the grain. If you want your sliced pan then the wheat has to be imported.

We should eat soda bread then. And we should be doing all this long before any war started anyway.
