Extreme weather phenomena severely affect agriculture in Great Britain, causing a food crisis.

Agriculture in Great Britain is facing a serious threat due to heatwaves, droughts, floods, and storms, which reduce agricultural production and increase food prices, affecting low-income households.

Professor Paul Behrens from the University of Oxford warns that food security is already in danger and calls for immediate action from the authorities. Agricultural yields have stagnated and have begun to decline, and farmers are forced to buy additional feed for animals during flood periods. A report from ECIU shows that climate change has significantly contributed to the rise in food prices in 2023.

The effects are visible in the prices of corn, beef, and other products, and the British government is criticized for its lack of rapid response. Experts recommend the consumption of plant-based foods and stronger policies for food resilience. Representatives of farmers confirm the worsening situation, and the government has launched a long-term strategy for agriculture, including investments in climate-resilient technologies.
