Farming Today This Week

Charlotte Smith visits a beef farm which hasn't seen a bag of fertiliser in years, to find out how some farmers are trying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Like all industries, farming has to meet the government's climate change target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80% on 1990 levels. Charlotte Smith visits a Northamptonshire beef farmer, James Fanshawe, who has stopped using fertiliser and is slaughtering his animals younger. Both things help the farm's finances, and can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Presenter: Charlotte Smith. Producer: Sarah Swadling.
