Supermarkets and other retailers in Northern Ireland are turning away from imports of British food products, despite post-Brexit checks on those goods being delayed indefinitely.

Earlier this year we reported on issues affecting trade between GB and Northern Ireland - chilled meats, like sausages, were effectively banned. EU rules say they can鈥檛 enter the single market from any non-EU country, like England, Scotland or Wales, due to health and safety reasons.
The EU granted an extension on the implementation of these rules, which was due to expire at the end of next month.

A continuation of this extension was announced this week by Lord Frost, who said the delay will 鈥減rovide space for potential further discussions, and to give certainty and stability to businesses鈥�.

Farming says it's committed to cutting its carbon footprint. Getting rid of diesel tractors and 4x4s would help, and improve air pollution levels too. So how about a methane-powered tractor or an electric 4x4? Anna Hill has a test drive.

When it comes to premium meats, one of the most prized is Mangalitza pork. It comes from a woolly and now rare-breed pig that originated in Hungary, and yields dark meat that some say tastes more like game. Mangalitza breeders are scarce in Britain, but one couple in Carmarthenshire is aiming to develop the UK鈥檚 purest pedigree herd.
