Sheep farming is mainly done on uplands and requires massive subsidies to give farmers a ‘liveable’ income
To my mind it's far better to stop farming sheep and pay the farmers to rewild the hills
Alternatively we could just stop subsidising sheep farmers let them go bust and the hills will rewild themselves
