Organic farming, re-wilding, boreholes for water
Farming Today
The German state of Bavaria announces it will double its organic land production by 2025. We ask what would happen to food supplies if large parts of the EU did the same. This week weβre looking at re-wilding, how it's being embraced and causing division in the countryside. Today Anna Hill visits the Ken Hill Estate in West Norfolk where nearly a thousand acres are to be turned over to a re-wilding project. The National Trust has commissioned a borehole to bring water to sheep on the chalk downs of Oxfordshire. Rebecca Rooney went to meet their Agricultural Water Engineer, Matthew Barrett, who's in charge of the drilling. Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.Next Episodes
