Professor Pete Falloon, Science Lead, Food Security at the @metoffice, delivered a compelling overview of how climate change is reshaping agriculture and food security in the UK and beyond.
Key points included:
🟣 Escalating climate risks
🟣 Policy and action adaptation gaps
🟣 Practical adaptation ‘quick wins’
🟣 Changing global supply chains
🟣 Science and policy integration
🟣 Nutrient and chemical management
He concluded by highlighting both the risks and opportunities ahead, urging the industry to work together to support adoption and implementation of climate adaptation measures.

is the UK public prepared for shocks to the food system? Are affluent societies that are used to plentiful flows? Following from my report to the National Preparedness Commission, I urge the UK public to be be involved. Resilience is a community matter. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

To NFFN Farmer Debbie Wilkins, regenerative agriculture means “restoring soil health and reconnecting with the land”. A key takeaway from @WildlifeTrusts Wild Live event this evening. A great way to kick off a week of inspiring talks in Oxford 🙌

Your views on climate change adaptation in the UK food system needed, please!
#foodsystems #climatechange #agriculture #farming
Do you work in the UK food or #agriculture sector?
We're interested hearing your perceptions of #climate change adaptation in the UK food system in order to build resilience to weather and climate extremes.
Complete our short survey 👇
forms.office.com/e/FTJxhT0rk…
ALT Graphic used for our climate change adaptation in the UK food system survey uses icons to illustrate how climate change will impact the UK food system supply chain. E.g. how extreme heat could lead to water shortages and drought or how heavy rainfall can lead to severe flooding, both extremes could have negative impacts on crop growth, harvesting, transportation or storage.
