The Forestry Commission is launching a new drive to get more farmers to plant trees. It includes grants of up to £10,000 per hectare to plant new woodland and free specialist advice. One farmer tells us he's worried about the lack of detail for how new tree planting schemes will fit in to his current operation.
Some people prefer to buy beef labelled grass-fed because they think it shows the animals are fed on grass all of the time, but that’s not always the case. Campaigners say the current labeling system is confusing because cattle can have eaten anything from 100% down to 51% grass, and still be called grass fed.
Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
