Climate Survey Taken on UK Farmers
UK - According to an England survey, more than half of the country's farmers are of the view that they are already affected by climate alterations, and about 70% expect to be affected within the next 10 years.The survey, carried out by the Farming Futures project, revealed that the effects of global warming are already being felt by the UK’s farming sector, with beef farmers seeing the most risks to their business from climate change, reports MeatInfo.
Sixty per cent of farmers expressed concerns about the increasingly unpredictable weather and, following the terrible floods last year, 44% were worried about further flooding.
Katie Zabel, Farming Futures project manager, said: “The survey results show that English farmers are already affected by climate change and they are starting to take action to both adapt their businesses, and reduce their own impacts.
“Climate change will affect us all, so for farmers and land managers to continue running successful, sustainable businesses in future, they need to think about on-farm adaptation and mitigation action.
“English farmers and land managers really are part of the solution to climate change. Taking action now can help reduce costs and risks in the future.”
