Marine Protection, Vegan Alcoholic Drinks, Healthier Wheat

Farming Today

More needs to be done to protect vulnerable marine habitats, according to a new report out today. The report, from a cross-party group of MPs, says the government isn't creating enough new protected areas, and isn't policing the existing zones well enough either. Anna Hill talks to Kerry McCarthy MP, one of the members of the committee which wrote the report. Scientists in Norwich explain how they're working to change the glycaemic index of wheat, which could make it a healthier food for us to eat. And Farming Today continues its look at the rise in veganism in the UK. We find out why some alcoholic drinks aren't suitable for vegans. Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Emma Campbell.
