Farm Waste
Farming Today
Barfoots UK is a multinational vegetable farming company with farms in the UK, Spain, Senegal and Peru. They produce veg all year round for British supermarkets. Charlotte Smith visits their farm and processing factory in West Sussex to find out how they tackle on-farm waste. By selling pre-chopped vegetables, they're able to use produce that would otherwise be wasted because it doesn't meet the supermarket specifications to be sold whole. The waste from the processing factory is then fed into an AD plant which provides enough electricity to power the whole plant. The programme also looks for solutions to tackle other types of farm waste - from plastic to slurry. Presented by Charlotte Smith Produced by Heather SimonsNext Episodes
