UK’s Worst Harvest in Decades | Leicester News

UK farmers face their worst harvest in decades as extreme heat and drought decimate wheat, barley, and oats—potentially slashing output by 2.5 million tonnes and costing £390 million. With three tough years in a row, agriculture is now the most climate-vulnerable sector, forcing supermarkets to import lettuce and broccoli from abroad and driving up prices for tomatoes, potatoes, and olive oil.
