19/11/2021 Calls for Wales to become a 'forest nation', tenant farmers demand longer tenancies, pasture-raised eggs
There are calls for Wales to become a 'forest nation' in order to meet net zero targets. But will tenant farmers end up as collateral damage in the rush to plant trees?
There are calls for Wales to become a 'forest nation', as more homegrown timber would help cut carbon emissions from the building industry. But will tenant farmers end up as collateral damage in the rush to plant trees?

Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
