Farmers protesting has been in the news for months already not just in the UK. In most countries in the EU, farmers have been protesting and dumping shit on government buildings seeking the government to stop cheap imports and inflation for they are not profiting because of it.
Brexit affected the agricultural sector of the UK negatively because the free movement of farm produce around Europe has been hampered. The British economy has been connected to Europe and leaving the Union is having dire consequences. Last month farmers drove tractors to the parliament to express displeasure over unfavorable trade deals and post-Brexit rule which is affecting local food production.
I also think that the war in Ukraine is another factor that is affecting agriculture in Europe due to the influx of cheap grains for the war-torn nation. I read that some European countries have banned the importation of Ukrainian grains because it is affecting local producers negatively since it is cheaper. The UK government would have to do more to curb these problems because any nation that goes through a food crisis might not grow economically since they will have to rely heavily on imports. These negative policies are also causing a loss of jobs because some farms are going bankrupt.
Some farmers are really going bankrupt ,the food shortage due to the government they really mess with the farmers.
