The Queen's Speech reveals plans for a supermarket adjudicator. Charlotte Smith asks farmers, supermarkets and the government if it will make a difference?

Following the Queen's Speech, Charlotte Smith hears plans for a supermarket adjudicator will go ahead. The Groceries Code Adjudicator will investigate complaints from suppliers about the way retailers treat them. But will it make a difference? Whilst the National Farmers' Union have welcomed it, the British Retail Consortium says it's a waste of time.

And Caz Graham meets the next generation of hill famers, signed up to The Fell Farming Apprenticeship Programme in Cumbria. She asks whether there's enough new blood in the industry to keep the fields stocked and ancient traditions like fell farming in good health.

Presented by Charlotte Smith. Produced by Clare Freeman.
