Food Insecurity is already here but sadly this is only just the beginning!

Food Insecurity is starting because of the Climate Emergency!

It's only in it's early stages but it's definitely here!

Tomatoes, Cucumbers etc are in short supply. Why?

In the winter months the UK imports around 95% of its tomatoes and 90% of its lettuces, most of it from Spain and north Africa, according to trade group the British Retail Consortium (BRC).

But Southern Spain has been suffering unusually cold weather and in Morocco crop yields have been affected by floods, while storms have led to ferries being delayed or cancelled.

UK supermarkets face tomato shortages

It led to Morocco barring exports of tomatoes, onions and potatoes to West African countries earlier this month as it tried to protect exports to Europe.

The UK also gets some produce at this time of year from domestic growers and the Netherlands But farmers in both countries have cut back on their use of greenhouses to grow winter crops due to higher electricity prices.
