Pod Bites: Can the UK grow enough food?

Did you know the UK imports 80% of its fruit and 47% of its vegetables?

This gives us one of the lowest food self-sufficency ratios in Western Europe and makes us particularly vulnerable to climate-related food price shocks.

Our new report Farming For 5-A-Day: how resilient is the UK’s supply of fruit, veg and beans in a changing climate? explores the risks facing our food supply and what we can do to make it more resilient. Senior Project Officer Alice English unpacks the findings in our latest podcast.
