Today, the UK Government has published a new assessment of the threats facing UK Food Security – see UK Food Security Report 2024 - Official statistics announcement - GOV.UK. The report states that:

“Long term decline in the UK’s natural capital is a pressing risk to UK food production,” and, “Climate change, nature loss and water insecurity pose significant risks to the ability of global food production to meet demand over the longer term.”

This means that the restoration of nature – including natural habitats, ecosystems, rivers, uplands, peatlands soils and much, much more – is critical to feed ourselves in the future.
