Climate Change Impacts UK Broccoli

This year's extreme heat and drought have severely impacted UK broccoli harvests, with some farmers reporting yield losses of over 50%.

This shortage is due to a lack of water, resulting in smaller broccoli heads and raising concerns about potential supply chain disruptions.

While some regions with sufficient rainfall have avoided major losses, the overall harvest is predicted to be among the worst in recent decades.

Experts emphasize the urgent need to consider the long-term effects of climate change on food production and agricultural practices.
