Risotto crisis: the fight to save Italy's beloved dish from extinction.
After drought devastated prized arborio and carnaroli harvests in the Po valley, new rice varieties offer a glimmer of hope. But none are yet suitable for use in the traditional recipe.
Italy is Europe's largest rice producer, growing about 50% of the rice produced in the EU. Most of its rice fields are in the Po valley, which stretches across much of the north of the country. It is in these fields that the unique risotto rice varieties, such as carnaroli and arborio, are grown.
The differences in rice plant roots. Their drought-resistant variety is bred to grow more vertically and find water deeper in the ground.

‘We need reservoirs built’: drought leaves UK farms begging for government aid
As crops shrivel in the fields, farmers around the country are calling for urgent action from the Tory leadership.
It last rained on the Euston Estate, near Thetford in Suffolk, a fortnight ago, although the 6mm that fell evaporated almost immediately on contact with the parched earth. Before that, the farm hadn't seen any rain since June, said Andrew Blenkiron, director of the estate belonging to Henry FitzRoy, 12th Duke of Grafton.
The hot weather meant winter wheat and barley could be harvested early on the estate’s 2,428 hectares (6,000 acres) of farmed land. But it also meant lower yields: wheat was down by a quarter, and barley by 10%, although higher prices helped soften the blow. The lack of water is critical for crops still in the ground - onions, potatoes, sugar beet - and for livestock including cattle and pigs.
Blenkiron wants to see changes to the planning system, to expedite the construction of water storage facilities on farms: "We need reservoirs built next summer, to fill up the following winter."

‘We need reservoirs built’: drought leaves UK farms begging for government aid
As crops shrivel in the fields, farmers around the country are calling for urgent action from the Tory leadership.
It last rained on the Euston Estate, near Thetford in Suffolk, a fortnight ago, although the 6mm that fell evaporated almost immediately on contact with the parched earth. Before that, the farm hadn't seen any rain since June, said Andrew Blenkiron, director of the estate belonging to Henry FitzRoy, 12th Duke of Grafton.
The hot weather meant winter wheat and barley could be harvested early on the estate’s 2,428 hectares (6,000 acres) of farmed land. But it also meant lower yields: wheat was down by a quarter, and barley by 10%, although higher prices helped soften the blow. The lack of water is critical for crops still in the ground - onions, potatoes, sugar beet - and for livestock including cattle and pigs.
Blenkiron wants to see changes to the planning system, to expedite the construction of water storage facilities on farms: "We need reservoirs built next summer, to fill up the following winter."

With ever hotter UK summers it’s time to rethink the future of grass
This summer saw vast tracts of parks and lawns scorched by drought in the UK, but more watering is not a sustainable solution. So what does the future hold for grass?.
It seems we have a problem with our grass.
We rely on grass in cities and in the countryside. Half of Britain's green and pleasant land is covered by grasses - pasture, meadows, moorland, parks and lawns. Grassland managed for livestock grazing is the UK's largest crop by area. Most of our animal protein is fed with grasses: pigs and chickens eat corn (a grass) and sheep and cattle directly graze grass. Amenity grassland in towns and cities is crucial for recreation and wellbeing.
But after this long, hot summer vast swaths of grass turned dusty brown - inedible to animals and unusable for people - highlighting just how much we rely on it, but also how vulnerable it can be. Can grass still thrive in an era of global heating?
