This report from the National Farmers' Union (NFU), issued in 2005, discusses the likely impact of climate change on farming and farmers in the UK over the next 50 years, looking at adaptations that will be required in crop and livestock production, and disease management. It also examines how agriculture can help mitigate the effects of climate change in such areas as biofuel production and carbon sequestration.It outlines the NFU view of what actions need to be taken. The 50-page report also contains useful tables illustrating projected trends in seasonal temperatures, estimated greenhouse gas emission levels, changes in soil moisture content and length of growing season.
