As avian flu forces birds in England into lockdown, Scottish farmers say their flocks too should be coming inside. We hear why Scotland's Chief Vet disagrees.
Some of the world's biggest food companies have signed up to an action plan to move their businesses and suppliers to regenerative farming.
All week we're talking about rural housing, or lack of it. In one rural county, Wiltshire, the council is currently dealing with around 360 assessments a month from people who're worried about losing their homes. The Doorway project in the market town of Chippenham helps homeless people, often sleeping rough in the countryside.
