“This year’s harvest was a shocker, and climate change is to blame. While shoppers have been partly insulated by imports picking up some of the slack, Britain’s farmers have borne the brunt of the second worst harvest on record.”
“It is clear that climate change is the biggest threat to UK food security. And these impacts are only going to get worse until we reduce our greenhouse gas emissions.”
Tom Lancaster, a land, food and farming analyst at the ECIU
“We’re getting into a situation where autumn planting is becoming unviable due to flooding and spring planting is risky because of drought.”
Colin Chappell, an arable farmer in Lincolnshire
