Experts warn Britain faces food crisis from extreme weather, inflation, and Iran war impacts

Summary

Food experts warn that Britain is "sleepwalking into a food crisis" due to extreme weather (heatwave following a dry spring), inflation, and the impacts of the Iran war. Farmers face severe strain with reduced crop yields, livestock heat stress, and rising wildfire risks. Economic losses are expected in the hundreds of millions of pounds, and food prices are projected to be 50% higher by November. Industry figures call for urgent government action, framing the issue as a national security risk.
