One of my main concerns is regarding climate change and food production. Our weather patterns seem to get more extreme with environmental experts predicting hotter drier summers, UK food production will become more difficult. Unlike many parts of the country our soil in the area of the proposed solar development is a mix of very moisture retentive clay and non clay and so retains more water during dry spells, enabling crops to withstand the dry summers. Recent global events show us how important food securtiy will be in the future.
