Case study
13 March 2018

Spain is a major sourcing area for fresh produce and other commodities consumed in the UK, accounting for over 20% of our imports of fruit and vegetables. In a recent report published by The PRI and WWF, 12% of Spain’s cropland was found to be at high water risk, demonstrating that our reliance on Spanish products also exposes UK supply chains to some significant water risks.

Case study

The Wye is one of the most significant and important rivers in the UK which is reflected in its EU designation as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). But the river and wider catchment are under significant pressure which are affecting the sustainability of the agriculture sector (soil loss & health) and the viability of the local economy (pollution impacting tourism and restricting development).
