The organic dairy industry is losing farmers and isn't expecting any new ones to join their books over the next year. Caz Graham meets Kevin Beaty who has a herd of 250 Jersey cows just south of Carlisle. After trying to make a go of organic milk, he gave up and went back to conventional production. Anna Hill speaks to Richard Hampton, chief operating officer at the Organic Milk Suppliers Cooperative, to find out why organic milk production is failing on some farms.

Anna Hill meets Stuart Piccaver who produces salads for most supermarkets to get his side of the story.
