The WWF have called for reform to the EC's Common Agriculture Policy. Charlotte Smith asks Jabier Ruiz from the WWF why the EC should listen to them, and what support for farmers should go in its place. And as part of a week on the CAP Pillar 2 payments, Mariclare Carey Jones reports from Wales where two farmers have very different experiences of the scheme. You've heard of Robocop, well here's "Robocrop" - David Gregory-Kumar reports on a project to grow a hectare of barley using only robots and drones. Producer: Toby Field.
