Geese, Dairy 'road map', Microbrewery

Farming Today takes a look at some traditional festive foods. Ben Jackson visits a farm in Leicestershire that has been producing geese for nearly 30 years.

With Christmas only ten days away, Farming Today takes a look at some of our traditional festive foods. Ben Jackson visits a farm in Leicestershire which has been producing geese for nearly thirty years. In that time, their flock has grown from the 30 they started out with, to the 5000 they have today.

The Dairy Roadmap's latest report is published today. The "roadmap", which started in 2008, defines environmental targets for the dairy industry and monitors the progress it's making on reducing its environment impact. Charlotte asks Rob Harrison, chair of both the Roadmap and the NFU Dairy Board, whether the industry is achieving its targets.

And we meet the couple who have diversified into producing beer, with a microbrewery on their farm in the Rhondda Valley in South Wales.

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Emma Campbell.
