flag Climate change has cut UK wheat production, reducing self-sufficiency and increasing reliance on imports.

flag Extreme weather linked to climate change has severely disrupted UK wheat production since 2020, causing a shortfall of over 7 million tonnes—enough to make more than four billion loaves, equivalent to a year’s supply. flag Poor harvests in 2020 and 2024, driven by droughts and floods, have reduced wheat self-sufficiency from 96% to 79%, forcing record imports. flag Four of the past five harvests have fallen below average, undermining agricultural resilience. flag Experts warn that without urgent action to adapt farming and reduce emissions, bread availability and food security could continue to decline.
