Food prices 'driven up' by uncontrolled immigration! More houses and fewer farms
UNCONTROLLED immigration costs £63million a year in lost food production – as farms make way for houses, claims a study.
Loss of farmland means higher food prices in Britain
A report by Population Matters said if the population of England had stayed at 48million, as it was in 1994 when UK borders were opened, tens of thousands of acres would have been saved and food prices kept down.
Chairman Roger Martin said: “Loss of land to development means higher food prices and less food security.
“England is the most overcrowded country in Europe and our houses the smallest.”
