AI insight
AI-generatedClimate extremes threaten UK crop yields (wheat, oats) and farmland quality, creating scarcity risk for domestic food supply. The channel is supply_shortage and input_cost for UK food producers and processors. Government adaptation spending (£11bn/yr) could benefit water storage and soil resilience sectors. Impact is UK-specific but may affect global grain prices if UK imports rise. Winners: water infrastructure firms; Losers: UK arable farmers, food manufacturers facing higher input costs.
