Day of the Triffids approaches - the pineapple keeps growing
Greenhouse rice plants (Cambridge University Botanic Garden)
Well back in the day all cultivated rice from the Carmargue was white but then it crossed with wild black rice and now you get white, black, wild and the famous red rice. Rice does not need nitrogen fertiliser and refined white rice can be kept for multiple years so an ideal foodstuff for stockpiles.
We need to step up European planting - just in case - as nitrogen fertiliser may go into short supply, which alternative staples, like wheat, require for high yield.
The personalities aside, we have a government that does not take responsibility and talks more than acts adequately. Quite a lot of British agricultural output is discarded at source because it is imperfect but this time around, as planting starts with lower fertiliser availability, nearly everything needs to be consumed or stored as best it can for later in the calendar.
The money is there - either cut the astonishingly large carbon capture and storage future budget (it will have to be cut anyway if the concept fails to scale well) or get the trial plants to provide some carbon dioxide to agriculture, which apparently will be in short supply - a bit of an excuse, at the moment, for any food supply problems that may arise. We are in the just in case phase at the moment. Waffling on about no fizz for beer is small beer action.
