This week Charlotte Smith looks into the pressures food producers are facing - despite the rapid rise in food prices. From pork and vegetables to organic dairy, farmers say the costs they are facing are outweighing the amount they are being paid. How much consumers should expect to pay for food was the topic for panellists of a digital conference organised this week by the The Rural Policy Group. It is a think tank set up to campaign for better representation of agriculture in politics. Speakers at the conference discussed what things reinforce consumers expectation of low-priced food, and how that could be changed in order to make pricing fairer for all. And we delve into the world of a still relatively niche farm animal - the goat. From a herd of 250 goats in the hills of Cumbria, and semi-wild goats being tracked in north Devon, to the pomp and pageantry of the King's Proclamation. Presented by Charlotte Smith Produced in Bristol by Natalie Donovan
