Farmers face ongoing challenges from pests such as aphids, caterpillars, and beetles, which can damage crops and reduce food security. + +Climate change and shifting agricultural practices are intensifying pest pressures. Warmer winters allow pests to survive longer, while wetter summers create favorable breeding environments. For example, aphid populations have increased in recent years, raising concerns about crop damage and disease transmission. + +To address these challenges, UK farmers are adopting integrated pest management (IPM) and sustainable control practices. Biopesticides, pheromone traps, and biological agents such as predatory insects are being used alongside selective pesticide applications. This approach minimizes chemical use while maintaining effectiveness. + +Government policies encouraging sustainable farming practices also support the adoption of eco-friendly pest control. As the UK works toward food security and environmental goals, agricultural pest management will remain a vital growth area for the industry. \ No newline at end of file
