Climate change 'an opportunity' for farmers

According to UK Environment Secretary David Miliband

Speaking at the Oxford Farming Conference, Mr Miliband will say: "Global warming creates problems - but it will also create new markets and new opportunities. That doesn't mean it is a good thing; it does mean we need to make the most of it."

In a speech prepared for the event, the Environment Secretary says polluters should have to pay for generating greenhouse gases.

"In food, that means greenhouse gases generated in producing food or in food miles carrying a price," he will say.

"If UK farming prepares now for this new future, it can get ahead. The UK can become leaders in green farming - developing innovations that reduce the use of natural resources and reduce pollution."

This I want to see more of - a race to see who can benefit the most from environmental sustainability. Its the new next big thing.
