14/01/23 Farming Today This Week: 10 Years since the horse meat scandal, end of wild camping on Dartmoor, trucks to Ukraine.

Ten years since the horse meat scandal - could it happen again?

A decade on from the horsemeat scandal, the man who carried out the government inquiry says current border checks on imported food are not good enough.

Wild camping on Dartmoor is over; in a court case brought by a landowner a judge ruled that camping in the National Park was not allowed without permission from the landowner.

Old farm 4x4s are being driven out to the war zone in Ukraine and adapted for use in fighting the Russians.

We hear from farmers in Somerset anxiously watching for flooding.

This week nearly 600 exhibitors showcased every piece of kit you could possibly use on a farm, from tractors to combines and farming robots at the LAMMA show in Birmingham.

And how a robot is being developed to pick daffodils in Cornwall.

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
