Vision # 7 - Metrics
Some numbers which I found interesting below - from http://www.ukagriculture.com/uk_farming.cfm and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom.
I read the key points as follows:
1. In order to be completely self-abundant each person in the UK needs to obtain all of their food and drink from 0.67 acres of farmland.
2. To contribute it's 'fair share' Tymawr-Farm should sustain 24 people!
If you assume that each person eats and drinks say, £20 per week, that means sales of £24960 on our 16 acres.
Scary! Would be wonderful if it could be possible. In order for the UK to be 'self-abundant', it MUST be possible!
