What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Following a record hot and dry summer in the UK, research indicates climate change is severely impacting arable farming. The Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit estimated the arable sector alone lost between £300m and £400m. This drought has caused reduced crop yields, poorer grass growth, and water shortages across the sector.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The financial losses are driven by reduced yields of crops like wheat, spring barley, and oats, and increased costs for livestock farmers who must buy more animal feed. Experts are now studying solutions to build resilience through improved soil health and adapting food production systems.
