The Blue Sea Food Company sells Devon crab in the UK and around the world... and says their fuel costs have gone up more than 500% in the last five years... with additional costs for exporting to the EU since Brexit. But, a growth in demand from the USA and Asia means they're still optimistic.
Spain is experiencing a drought. In Catalonia, the use of water for irrigation is subject to a mandatory 40% reduction. So with veg shortages already evident on UK supermarket shelves, could this exacerbate the situation?
And a £1million training facility is being launched at Hadlow College in Kent, with funding from the Government to create a new vineyard and orchard. But can it really prepare students for the reality of life in an industry that's facing so many challenges?
