The Food, Farming and Countryside Commission, an independent charity, has spent the last three years working with local and national stakeholders, seeking a practical way to develop a Land Use Framework for England. They’ve just published their latest report, and Caz Graham speaks to Tom Burston, the Commission's director of policy and research, to find out more. A viral video on social media has sparked discussions around on-farm safety during harvest season. Off the back of the incident where a man apparently stood in front of a combine harvester, Caz speaks to Stephanie Berkeley from the Farm Safety Foundation. And Castlemilk Moorits are one of our native sheep breeds, they have a fascinating history and their fleece is highly prized by hand spinners. But with only just over a thousand in the whole of the UK, they’re officially at risk. Mariclare Carey-Jones meets the Welsh Representative of the Castlemilk Moorit’s Society, Vicky Phillips, and her flock. Presented by Caz Graham; produced in Bristol by Lucy Taylor.
