Iran War: Impact on UK fertiliser, fuel & food security

As war spreads across the Middle East, we look at the implications for UK farmers – including the impact on fertiliser, fuel and food security. In a volatile market, we examine the latest information on prices and availability – and what you can do to secure vital farm inputs. Supply chains both up and down from the farm gate have already been affected as the world gets to grips with a widening conflict at a key time of the farming year. We also examine the issue of UK food security with Professor Tim Lang. Part-recorded on location at Origin Soil Nutrition at Great Yarmouth in Norfolk; at farmer-owned buying group Fram Farmers in Framlingham; and on farm at Hoxne, Suffolk.
