UK was in EU until recently. 40% of EU budget is dedicated to food security under the name of Common Agricultural Policy. In practice, this is an extremely complex pool of regulations and subsidies that work really well to ensure that the EU can feed itself.
Pretty much every investment in agriculture, from buying tractors to the collection and distribution of organic fertilizers is heavily subsiduzed and controlled.
