Focus on arable crops  (925kb)
Climate is a significant factor in determining plant growth and productivity. Although climate change presents opportunities for growers, it is essential to think carefully about crop management to achieve maximum value from yields in future years.
This document looks at key concerns, opportunities and challenges of climate change for arable farmers.
