EconomyUK relies on climate-stressed countries for fruit and vegetables it could grow itself, report says

The Food Foundation warns that the UK’s reliance on imports leaves it exposed to food price shocks. About 40% of food is imported, including 80% of fruit and 47% of vegetables, while many supplier countries face greater climate risks. The charity is urging the government to help farmers adapt and raise domestic production.
