Expert Comment: Hormuz exposes the fragility of the UK’s food system – but price shocks alone won’t transform it
MoreDr Richard Kipling explains how the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has exposed the UK food system's reliance on imported fertiliser, and why a price shock alone is unlikely to transform it.

Bringing the economics of biodiversity into policy and decision-making: A target and cost-based approach to pricing biodiversity
MorePRE-PRINT: The paper proposes a method (TCA) to assign a cost-based “shadow price” to biodiversity based on policy targets. It avoids subjective valuations by linking biodiversity directly to government goals. This enables balanced public spending decisions without compromising biodiversity targets.
