Very interesting stuff there guys..food for thought..
And speaking of food...there was much talk about drought on R4's Farming Today earlier, and it made for gloomy listening. With longer drier summers predicted in future and with spring just around the corner it looks as if we are in for a very dry spell indeed.
The lack of water will mean of course less irrigation and as a result less productivity..less food produced..result = higher prices in the supermarket. One potato farmer in Norfolk said he needs 1 million gallons of water per field of potatoes. Staggering..where will all this water come from?
