There should be a national body to deliver science more quickly to farmers - that鈥檚 the conclusion of a report looking at ways to boost productivity and innovation on UK farms. The Application of Science Report says the current system is too fragmented and the UK is falling behind other countries. Lord Curry of Kirkharle who chaired the working group behind the report tells Charlotte Smith that there is an urgent need for farms to boost productivity.

Farmers, food producers and campaigners have been discussing a better food system for Wales. Farming Today has a report.

And we begin a week looking at all things equine, hearing how the cost of living crisis and the spiralling cost of keeping a horse, is making life difficult for owners of riding schools and stables.
