The first producer to be awarded a new UK Geographical Indication Status is revealed and they tell Caz Graham what they hope this will do for their business and why it's important. Caz asks Joel Smith, a specialist in intellectual property, how this new standard differs from those awarded in the European Union and what steps producers in the UK might need to take to ensure that their GI status is protected elsewhere in the world.
For forestry week Melanie Abbott is in Warwickshire to meet a commercial tree grower who says that prices are improving.
