Description
In this episode, we ask who is to blame for Defra's reported £358m underspend on farming – and can it really be justified?
A better year ahead? After a challenging time, the latest forecasts suggest UK dairy has finally turned the corner.
We get to grips with the latest developments on precision breeding – which could pave the way for UK farmers to grow gene-edited crops.
We find out how blended finance is helping farmers fund nature recovery projects on a landscape scale.
And we speak to the newly crowned Farm Champion of the Year.
