Farming conditions in the UK are becoming more variable. While there may be opportunities from improved growing conditions in some seasons, these are increasingly offset by extremes such as drought, flooding and unpredictable weather patterns.
In this Tramlines podcast episode, we explore what resilience means in practice and how farm businesses can adapt. The discussion brings together climate science and practical agronomy to help inform decision-making on farm.
Leading the discussion is Dr Mike Rivington of the James Hutton Institute and Andrew Richards, Senior Agronomist at Agrii.
Podcast Summary:
What future climate conditions could look like for UK farming, and why variability matters more than averages
The practical impact of drought, flooding and seasonal extremes on crop performance
How soil structure and organic matter underpin water management and resilience
Where investment decisions, such as drainage, can influence yield and long-term returns
How to approach crop and variety choice in less predictable conditions
The role of modelling and data in supporting better on-farm decisions
Why resilience is as much about business and mindset as it is about agronomy
