When carbon dioxide and temperature can increase crops in some places. Frequently changes in climate and severity of droughts and floods are make challenges for farmers and also affrct the food safety. Affects of weather on food Weather conditions Impacts Rain fall It affects on pollination, increases the disease risk, lodging of crops It also delayed farming like reducing the cost and quality. Increase food wastage because of custmers choice. High wind Loss of fruits and leaves. closure of UK ports, impacts on farm buildings and it interrupts on UK supply chain and increase the repair bills Snow /hail / hail It leads to livestock causing condition loss, abortion death, crop damage, frost damage. yield loss and lost yield. Heat / drought Increase stress, heat stress, reduction in forage requiring supplymentry feeding Weather impacts on food production Increasing the number of imports and exports in food and agriculture raw material. Price is the most considerable feature affected by weather conditions. Food consumer in UK nad EU are most experience food shortage.

This country produse a reduced amount of food it eats. Apart from this, recently they moves towards organic farming to get much profit. there is hiking awareness that farmers have most important role for the British countryside and wildlife. Religion The great number of people in UK belongs to Christianity followed by Muslim religion. There is different types of dietary habits are derived from religious laws. Dietary difference links to different religion is considering when planning a balance diet. Christianity In earlier Christian people used to avoid meats and dietary in during the small period of the year but today its often they eats fish on Friday, they also like to have bread and wine or Holly communion regularly celebration. the meaning of this is related to the body and blood of Jesus Christ depends on the denomination. Islam Muslim fasters in month of Ramadan, they causly avoid pork and alcoholic.

Flood Flood risk is becoming major threat in UK, alongside stresses on water UK also Faced problems related water supply. And less river flows in summer. flood reduce the food availability and agriculture income from crop sale. In floods they have emergency food aid at a distance from saving lives in urgent situation.

In this matter, they include calorific values, product yields and generate the population size they England can support. On the other hand, they support 1.2billion people through the mono production of tomatoes. In previous time people of United Kingdom used to depend on beef an poultry. On the face of it a lot of people prefer to have crops, and the amount of land is increase because of vegetarian people.
