The Climate Change Committee, the independent body which advises all of the UK governments on climate change, says that to meet targets on lowering emissions, we need to eat and farm less beef.
We hear how researchers and farmers have been working to reduce the carbon footprint of beef.
There will not be a government horticulture strategy in England. One was promised last June as part of the Government Food Strategy, which committed to developing a 'world-leading horticulture strategy for England’. But despite recent shortages of some vegetables in the supermarkets, this week the Farming Minister confirmed it would "not be developing a published strategy...as originally envisaged".
Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
