Having said all that, more investigation is needed into how we can actually grow more fruit and vegetables in a changing climate. Water will continue to be a challenging factor and \u00a0abstraction licences are still a minefield. Using technology to drive effective and efficient water use will be key.<\/p>\n
Some landowners who already have reservoirs in place are renting land out to other growers instead of taking the risk of planting crops themselves<\/p>\n
I believe we need to start looking at technology differently, in terms of how we grow food, and gene editing is definitely one to watch. Gene editing is not genetic modification (GM); instead, it\u2019s about editing crops and precision breeding to be more resilient in the face of climate change in future.<\/p>\n
Demand for British produce continues to climb, and food provenance is no longer a desirable add-on but a key driver of sales. Investing in provenance \u2013 either through supply chain transparency, partnerships with regenerative producers or agri-tourism \u2013 can enhance business resilience and strengthen competitiveness across the whole industry.<\/p>\n
