    But if that agricultural sector isn’t that productive, does it even make sense at an EU level? Aren’t you better off trying to move to a services and information economy as much as possible, while you let countries like Portugal, Spain, Italy handle agriculture? The solidarity of EU membership would mean you could rely on this kind of arrangement.

      In almost any other sector I would agree. Food and water supply, not so much. War and other potential global disruptive events could cut us off from mainland europe or at least make deliveries more difficult. We are already very dependent on imports. This could make us entirely so. I dont want to starve.
