A new report from Wrap out today reveals some startling figures about levels of food waste on farms. Andrew Parry from the organisation explains what's happening and why, and Charlotte Smith asks him who's responsible - is it the farmers, the retailers or you and I, the consumers? A national ban on the landing of pregnant lobsters is being introduced in a bid to keep the fishery sustainable. Matt Small has been to the National Lobster Hatchery in Padstow to find out more. Vets are warning horse-owners that the recent high winds could bring down Sycamore seeds which are toxic to horses, and can cause an illness which weakens the muscles and is fatal in seventy percent of cases. Sybil Ruscoe has been to meet Brenda Russell whose horse was poisoned by Sycamore seeds. Producer: Toby Field.
