This episode of Farming Focus, hosted by Peter Green, explores how climate change is reshaping UK farming, with guests Ben Andrews and Guy Singh-Watson discussing the challenges of extreme weather, food security, and resilience through innovation, soil health, and biodiversity.
In this episode of Farming Focus, brought to you by Cornish Mutual, we take a deep dive into how climate change is already impacting farming and food production in the South West and beyond. With shifting rainfall patterns, rising temperatures, and increasingly frequent extreme weather events, the reliability of our food supply faces growing uncertainty.
Host Peter Green is joined by Herefordshire farmer and Nuffield Scholar Ben Andrews and Devon-based founder of Riverford Organic Farmers Guy Singh-Watson. Together, they explore what climate change means for farmers, which crops and livestock sectors are most vulnerable, and the practical steps the farming community can take to adapt.
