This weekend it's Open Farm Sunday where hundreds of farms across the country are opening their gates and letting the public in. Anna Hill visits a Norfolk farm who are opening for the first time. As part of Open Farm Sunday there will be a pollinator survey, so Charlotte goes counting insects in Hampshire.
And Charlotte discusses the role of biomass and biofuel for our energy needs.
The presenter is Charlotte Smith and the producer is Emma Weatherill.
