The consumption of subsidy is not directly tied to efficiency in agricultural production. France, in forty years, has increased it's yields four times over. It's an agricultural powerhouse. Comparable to the US in many ways. While they talk about the family farm ad naus, they funnel their efforts to massive cereal grain processing operations. Small farms are struggling for the same reason there as anywhere else. Consumer demands have shifted, and economic activity has long since been urban rather than rural.
The EU didn't destroy small farms in the UK, France, or the US. It's simply presided over the decline and reduced it's impact through subsidy. The UK as an independent agent will, by necessity, do the same. I presume that the appeal in this scenario is that they will at least do it in a very british way?
