This worsens food insecurity and the cost of living crisis. Low-income households are affected most because they spend a larger share of their income on food.

Climate justice helps explain why poorer people suffer more from climate-related price rises.

Social determinants of health also matter, because food, income and nutrition directly affect health.

i think the fact that farmers cant afford basic cost of living (therefore cant afford insurance) - could be linked to so many theories, whether its the global markets which they arent paid enough, state priorities

commodification of basic needs- housing and its profitability is prioritized. healthcare and water is privatised, and its accessibility is based on income/social hierarchies...

Stricter rules on how companies operate, since companies are being sued are accused of negligence - so need to ensure greater accountability. the people suing demands that action be taken to improve the state of the rivers, and compensation be paid to those whose lives and businesses have been affected - so cash transfer?

# data[].attributes.body
a major one is reducing the cost of state insurance for crops, but if we look at issues on the broader scale they couldnt afford the insurance as they couldnt meet the cost of living generally

Climate vulnerability so climate exacerbating issues making them worse? Also companies (the chicken farmers) are being sued for negligence could bring in political ecology so how economic structures, and power relations impact climate also idea that animals lucrative commodity so producing manure so - capitalism markets!

UK's biggest ever environmental pollution claim reaches High Court: One of the UK's largest chicken producers and a water company will be in the High Court on Monday accused of polluting the rivers Wye, Lugg and Usk - 4,500 people signed up to take part in what's being seen as a landmark case https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqxl5rjw58po

In 2023, Natural England, the UK government's official advisory body, rated the condition of the River Wye as "unfavourable - declining". The follow-up River Wye Action Plan in 2024 blamed excessive nutrients from farming and wastewater discharges as well as climate change for increasing the water temperature and reducing the water flow in hot dry summers.

Legal firm Leigh Day is bringing the case on a no-win no-fee basis. They say that although it was arable farmers who spread the manure, Avara Foods and its subsidiary Freemans of Newent should be held responsible for the consequences.

"The poultry companies that are being sued in this claim knew what the outcome of their operations were going to be when they expanded the poultry production in this area," Celine O'Donovan, one of the Leigh Day lawyers, told BBC News.

"As a result, the responsibility for the decline of these rivers needs to lie with the people that knew what was going to happen and have made the money from it and controlled the supply chain that resulted in it."

The companies being sued are accused of negligence, causing private and public nuisance and even trespass where the riverbed has been affected on a claimant's property.

In a statement Avara Foods said the allegations were "misconceived" and that it was "confident in our position and believe the claim is unsupported by any proper scientific basis." It said that river health is affected by "multiple factors" and that phosphorus levels had fallen since the early 1990s.

Welsh Water, which has been accused of increasing the nutrient load through sewage spills, said the case was "misguided" and that it had invested £76m on reducing nutrient levels on the Wye, Lugg and Usk between 2020 and 2025 and would invest £87m more from 2025 to 2030.
