Farming Today

Nick von Westenholz from the National Farmers' Union gives his reaction to Theresa May's speech on Brexit and tells Sybil Ruscoe what a two year transitional period could mean for agriculture, trade and farmers. Food waste is the Farming Today theme this week, and Bob Doherty from the University of York explains the size and scale of the problem, and what's being done about it at a consumer and retailer level. Autumn is the time for ploughing - Howard Shannon has been to meet Robert Sampson who is one of only a handful of British farmers still working the land with draught horses. Producer: Toby Field.
