There are thought to be more than three times as many vegans in the UK as there were ten years ago. In this programme, Charlotte Smith hosts a panel discussion about the reasons for the rise, and its implications for British farmers. Is it a threat or an opportunity? On the panel: Juliet Gellatley from the vegan campaigning organisation, Viva! ; Minette Batters from the National Farmers Union; writer and environmental activist Mark Lynas; animal welfare expert Professor John Webster from Bristol University. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Emma Campbell.
