Due to an increase in drought and heat waves,the types of crops grown in the UK will have to change,which doesn’t have to be a bad thing for us.Products which haven’t been farmed over here before,such as sweet corn,sunflowers,and maize for cereals,could all provide new business for farmers—certainly in the southeast.
However,if farming practices do change in this country,procedures will have to be put in place beforehand as introducing something new to farmland involves a lot of preparations.Also,irrigation systems may need to be improved so that rain from winter can be stored for summer as it is hot.
Researchers are already finding those pests,such as aphids,which are starting to hatch earlier in the year.In the last 10—15 years they’ve been arriving in spring time and the population of aphids appears to be growing,too.
Aphids are a real problem as they can cause so much damage to crops,and if they’re arriving earlier in the year especially when the crops are fragile,they can cause more damage than they used to.
