Climate Change and the UK's Agricultural Future

In this episode, we’re diving into a groundbreaking study published in Climate Resilience and Sustainability. Led by Dr. John Redhead from the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, along with researchers from the University of East Anglia, this study provides an in-depth analysis of how climate change could radically transform UK agriculture by the year 2080.

With global temperatures projected to rise by 2°C or even 4°C above pre-industrial levels, the future of British farming is at a crossroad. The research paints a fascinating picture of a UK where crops like chickpeas, soybeans, and even citrus fruits could thrive while traditional staples like wheat and strawberries face serious declines.
