Olive Groves in England?

A farmer from Devon, England has planted 120 olive trees in hopes of taking advantage of the rising climate. Mark Diacono intends for his olives to be used for oil in five to seven years. Diacono, who believes that global warming is one of the greatest problems facing the planet, hopes that his farm will help reduce the amount of "food miles". I am not to sure how to feel about this one. It does seem to be a good way to make good of a bad situation.

The day Great Britain produces a good pressing of olive oil is the day that Italy produces an effecient bureacracy.
