UK farmers warn of rotting crops after Storm Babet flooding
Potato and cereal crops are likely to have been heavily damaged by the recent devastating floods across the UK, farmers have warned.
Entire fields have been submerged in water after Storm Babet swept across the country, with crops ruined. Extreme weather events are becoming more likely and frequent due to climate breakdown, and have caused food shortages and price increases.
The storms have left at least seven people dead and hundreds more homeless after flash floods followed heavy rain. An estimated 1,250 properties in England have been flooded while about 30,000 properties have needed flood protection, according to the Environment Agency.
