A growing drought across Europe is causing critical shortages of water and feed for livestock, impacting farmers and driving up prices. Czech farmers, like Jiří Kunc, are struggling with limited resources, forcing some to reduce their herds to ensure the survival of remaining animals. Kunc has already decreased his cattle count by twenty, anticipating further reductions if conditions don’t improve. The lack of grazing land and depleted winter feed reserves exacerbate the problem. Reduced supply is increasing the cost of feed across the continent, adding financial strain to agricultural businesses. The situation highlights the vulnerability of European farming to climate change and the potential for wider food supply issues.
