Summary

We hear calls for more ‘cooperative working’, to give farmers a louder voice in the food supply chain. When is a Hereford cow not a Hereford cow? How a dispute about breed purity has ended up in the High Court. And cultivating hemp and flax for building materials is now the focus of a trial project on a number of farms in Dorset. Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
