From weathering the storm to planning ahead: Turning climate challenge into on-farm action

Climate change is already reshaping UK farming and the Climate Change Committee (CCC) is calling for change. To support whole-business resilience, we have developed new climate resilience on‑farm action planners to help farmers move from awareness to practical, proportionate action. Alice Sin, AHDB’s Environmental Specialist, explains more.

The CCC recently published A Well-Adapted UK – an independent assessment of how prepared the UK is for the impacts of climate change. The message for farming is clear: climate risks are already being felt, and without faster, better‑supported adaptation, those risks will intensify.

Farming has always been shaped by the weather. But what many farmers are experiencing now feels different.
