Watch again as the minister for environment, food and rural affairs faced urgent questions on food shortages.

The issue is thought to have been caused by difficult weather conditions in the south of Europe and northern Africa, which have disrupted the harvest for some fruit and vegetables.
At this time of year, the UK also imports some produce from domestic growers and the Netherlands, but producers in both countries have reported cutting back on their use of greenhouses because of high energy prices.

SUMMARY
=======
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (or, as an acronym, DEFRA) is the government department responsible for environmental protection, food production and standards, agriculture, fisheries and rural communities in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Concordats set out agreed frameworks for co operation, between it and the Scottish Government, Welsh Government and Northern Ireland Executive, which have devolved responsibilities for these matters in their respective nations.
Defra also leads for Britain at the EU on agricultural, fisheries and environment matters and in other international negotiations on sustainable development and climate change, although a new Department of Energy and Climate Change was created on 3 October 2008 to take over the last responsibility.
