It might be possible to reinforce this by allowing and encouraging #localauthorities to purchase agricultural land in order to increase the scope of #tenantfarming . Historically #localauthorities have been rather good agricultural landlords but #conservative policy in recent years has been to get them out of such a role. Making it easier for well-motivated and trained people to get started as farmers would make a lot of sense.
