Is this data right? wales while being pretty mountainous still as plenty of arable land

[–] built_on_hope@hexbear.net 11 points 4 days ago

Almost all land in the UK has been destroyed in terms of soil quality from centuries of enclosures, overfarming, forest clearing, and sheep raising. There being arable land doesn’t mean the soil quality is good, it just means the economic conditions still make enough sense for the land to be used as farmland even if loads of fertilisers and machinery are needed to keep it viable. The biodiversity is absolute dog shit compared to other countries.
