Description

Defra Secretary of State, Steve Reed, has been catapulted into the Dept of Housing, Communities and Local Government - Farming minister, Dan Zeichner, is out - and instead, in come Emma Reynolds and Angela Eagle.

Is there an opportunity for farmers in the chaos? Could this Defra defenestration offer light at the end of a dark tunnel?

With Labour struggling in the polls, what does Kier Starmer's reshuffle tell us about his attitude to food and farming?

In a conversation, live at the Agroforestry Show, FFINLO COSTAIN meets EMILY NORTON (AHDB), STEPHEN BRIGGS (Agroforestry pioneer), MARTIN LINES (NFFN) and VICKI HIRD (Wildlife Trusts).
