Summary

This paper, published in 2025 in The Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology, examines the implications of climate change for UK food production, with likely emphasis on horticultural systems. The authors appear to have synthesised evidence on how shifting climatic conditions affect crop performance, growing regions, and food security in a UK context. The work may offer insights into adaptation strategies or policy-relevant recommendations for the sector.

UK applicability

Direct applicability to UK farming and policy: findings on climate impacts to horticultural production, regional viability of crops, and adaptation strategies are immediately relevant to UK growers, agronomists, and DEFRA policy frameworks for food security and agricultural resilience.

Key measures

As suggested by the title and journal scope: climate variables (temperature, precipitation, growing season length), crop yield impacts, geographical shifts in production zones, or adaptation measures.

Outcomes reported

The study likely assessed how climate change affects UK horticultural productivity, crop viability, and food security. It may have examined shifts in growing conditions, pest and disease pressures, or crop suitability across regions.
