Details of government’s new plan for water in England. It says extra funding will give farmers more free advice from the Catchment Sensitive Farming scheme and promises more funding for constructing reservoirs on farms. It's also earmarked nearly £34 million pound to help livestock farmers improve their slurry storage. We speak to the farming minister Mark Spencer.
A group in Devon is using bunds made from sheep's wool and moss to help restore peatlands on Dartmoor. The aim is to capture carbon - and make a statement about the climate emergency. It's part of a project called How to Bury the Giant.
This week we're taking a look at labelling. A new study from Rothamsted Research examines whether food labels should take into account ‘the bio-availability’ of the nutrients in different foods, and how that would affect their overall carbon footprint and sustainability.
