Some of the climate models I have looked at suggest that the mixture of agricultural practices on the island will change. There will be less rainfall on the eastern coast and more monster rain events. In terms of what Food Harvest 2020 proposes, there will be a different model of agriculture. If we are to move towards wheat and barley production, our landmass will not be sufficient to feed Europe substantially.
