17/08/33 - A prototype land use framework, seasonal farm safety, rare breed sheep

The Food, Farming and Countryside Commission publishes its report on a land use framework for England. And a viral video on social media sparks discussions around farm safety

The Food, Farming and Countryside Commission, an independent charity, has spent the last three years working with local and national stakeholders, seeking a practical way to develop a Land Use Framework for England. They’ve just published their latest report, and Caz Graham speaks to Tom Burston, the Commission's director of policy and research, to find out more.

A viral video on social media has sparked discussions around on-farm safety during harvest season. Off the back of the incident where a man apparently stood in front of a combine harvester, Caz speaks to Stephanie Berkeley from the Farm Safety Foundation.

And Castlemilk Moorits are one of our native sheep breeds, they have a fascinating history and their fleece is highly prized by hand spinners. But with only just over a thousand in the whole of the UK, they’re officially at risk. Mariclare Carey-Jones meets the Welsh Representative of the Castlemilk Moorit’s Society, Vicky Phillips, and her flock.

Presented by Caz Graham; produced in Bristol by Lucy Taylor.
