As the Government announces more funding for large scale renewable energy, Farming Today looks at the impact on smaller scale energy projects on farms. Anaerobic digesters convert farm and food waste into power, but there are only 65 in the UK compared to 2,500 in Germany. Charlotte Smith asks energy minister Charles Hendry what he is doing to bridge the gap.

And as the Countryside Alliance campaigns for farm visits to become a compulsory part of the school curriculum, Farming Today visits a school in Essex which has taken things into their own hands, and has a farm on site. The teachers say it says helps bring subjects like maths and science vividly to life.

And Countryfile presenter Adam Henson travels to the Cotswolds, to meet one of the finalists for the Farmer of the Year competition at the 麻豆约拍 Food and Farming awards. He rounds up the sheep alongside Adrian Dolby , who manages the largest organic arable farm in the UK.
