As one supermarket rations its sales and anotherβs started importing from Italy, we ask whatβs going on with home-laid British eggs.
Defra officials shared the revised plans on the post-Brexit farm payments for England with invited stakeholders at a meeting earlier this week. The Soil Association says itβs βalarmedβ that Defra might be watering down ELMS and the Country Land and Business Association says itβs concerned that βunhelpful rumoursβ are damaging confidence in the schemes.
All week we're talking about trees. We visit a farmer in Wiltshire who's using a grant scheme provided by the Woodland Trust to replant hedgerows removed over the past 50 years.
Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
