The new Office for Environmental Protection gets up and running, and its Chair, Dame Glenys Tracey, tells us it will have enough teeth to make a difference. We hear from the National Farmers' Union Sugar Board and British Sugar on a dispute over sugar beet prices. And how scientists have been working with arable farmers to try find an alternative to fossil-fuel based fertilisers, using CO2. Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
