It has recently been reported that eliminating migrant workers from the supply chain could result in the abolishment of fresh British vegetables, with one leading British farmer in particular warning that if Brexit immigration controls are to prevent thousands of Eastern Europeans from working in the UK like planned, our supermarket shelves will no longer be able to offer British produce.

The Observer has released a new blog which states that vegetables will replace meat by 2020, a variety of chefs, food activists and scientific research have all agreed that this shift was going to happen and that vegetables will now dominate the plate of the American dinner.

One leading farmer, Guy Poskitt, has warned that if post-Brexit immigration controls prevent thousands of Eastern Europeans from working in the UK, the results could be incredibly damaging, claiming that it is simply impossible to source enough British labourers to do the work. This is because locals are not willing to take the up the available jobs in agriculture because of the physical labour and small prospects for advancement – even when they pay well above minimum wage.

Many think that when autumn comes to an end, all there is left to do in a garden is harvest the fruits and vegetable which have been grown however this is not true and autumn is actually as important as spring when it comes to gardening. Autumn is a key time for gardeners to prepare and get ahead for the next growing season and some crops can even be grown throughout September and even further on, depending on the weather. Here are some crops that can be grown:

Since 2009 the Paignton Zoo in Devon has been utilising hydroponic farming to feed a large majority of its animals – not only diversifying animal feed but also vastly increasing nutritional density. The hydroponics system located at the zoo works to grow a range of nutritious crops including spinach and lettuce and the approximately 2000 animals that live at the zoo greatly enjoy these.

Due to lack of farmland and space in Singapore, vertical farming methods are now becoming increasingly popular – with more farms opting to utilise high-tech, hydroponic methods to overcome limitations.

Atop of an abandoned 1950s block of offices, tomatoes, micro greens and vegetables are being grown in what is being tipped as Europe's largest urban farm. The abandoned offices were once the mainstay of operations for the Dutch telecommunications giant Phillips. Now a sea of fresh greens can be seen high above the building located in The Hague.

Popping up all across the Capital is a new breed of urban farm and it is highly anticipated by many that this is going to change the way that a range food is sourced. Located over thirty metres below ground on Clapham High Street a 6,000 sq. ft. shelter can be found. It is here that 'microgreens' such as coriander and chives are grown at full force using LED lighting and other variations of hydroponic equipment.

In Kozebue, it isn't anywhere near as easy to get hold of fresh vegetables as it is in the UK.

Hydroponics could be seen as helping with important research into the best growing conditions for commercial crops, following a series of experiments in America; revealing just how important it is for the future of food. It was Suntech Greenhouses Ltd and owner Bob Mitchell who decided to install blue, red and bright light emitting diodes (LEDs) when growing tomatoes in an indoor hydroponics farm. It was found that these LED lights affected different tomato types differently with some such as grape tomatoes increasing in growth, whilst bigger fruits such as beefsteaks did not endure.
