    Farmers doing something dodgy? That's so out of character!

      Yeah but remember! No farmers no food! They’re the unsung heroes who do no wrong and are the guardians of the countryside! /S

    Farms will increasingly be cursed with too much and too little water. The most direct adaptation is very large subsoil tanks that accumulate water outside the growing season, wet periods etc, then pump at night from there during droughts to bridge gaps. Tile drainage for the overly wet periods.

    Humans will need to moderate an increasingly extreme nature to survive.
