With the rain continuing and below average temperatures, the outlook isn't so sunny for UK salad growers.

We look at some of the detail in the main parties' manifestos to see what they're promising on issues like the agriculture budget, food security and England's badger cull.

Sometimes described as a farmer's best friend, dung beetles consume, bury and break up dung, improving soils as they go. Earlier this month vets and farmers met at a conference in Somerset devoted to the dung beetle.

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
