Farmers criticise government plan to counter threats to UK food security

Plan warns climate crisis will lead to food price shocks and shortages but farmers say it fails to adequately fund response

But farmers criticised the plan, which outlines for the first time the government's vision for the long-term direction of farming, for failing to adequately fund a response to this threat to the UK's food security.
