The Department of Food and Rural Affairs is facing an extra Β£83 million pounds of cuts this year. Where will the axe fall?

Today is United Nations World Environment Day - what are the environmental challenges facing British farmers as the world tackles climate change?

All this week we're looking at British wool. Today - wrapping up food in waste wool. We've been to Staffordshire to find out about a new way of using one of our oldest farm products.

This Sunday is Open Farm Sunday when farmers open the farm gate to the public. Sophie Anton is at Fosse Farm, near Bath, where they're gearing up to welcome 3,000 visitors.
