Leaked Natural England documents, 'tweak' to Agriculture Bill, soil cultivation, broiler breeding

Farming Today

Leaked documents show that Natural England, the government's advisory body on the environment, is due to miss its targets to prevent species extinction and enhance Sites of Special Scientific Interest. After much pressure from farmers, Defra Secretary Michael Gove has promised to 'tweak' the Agriculture Bill, to make it "emphasise a little bit more agriculture". We visit two farms to hear about soil cultivation and broiler breeding. Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
