About this episode
Dr. Russell Sharp discusses the severe crop losses in Latvia due to flooding and its economic implications for farmers.
Dr. Russell Sharp examines the severe crop losses in Latvia caused by heavy spring and late-season rainfall, flooding and seed washout that destroyed vegetables like onions, carrots, cabbages and potatoes. He explains how these conditions have left farmers facing large economic losses and likely increased imports and prices. The episode contrasts Latvia’s wet, unstable “climate frontline” with the UK’s recent drought conditions, touches on Estonia’s high organic output, and asks listeners for feedback on which season they prefer. https://eutrema.co.uk/shop/biostimulants/potassium-silicate-20-litres/
