Comment on Harvest in England the second worst on record because of wet weather

Worth noting that lower UK production, either caused by climate change such as the article talks about, or farmers either turning over fields to non farming uses such as solar or housing as farming is no longer profitable for them, means increased inflation for food. It also means we are less resilient to further food inflation if other countries have their own climate changed farming issues as we saw a little while ago.

Failure to invest in farming now means small savings today but higher food prices tomorrow.
