The way we buy our food is changing as a result of the coronavirus. The chief executives of both Tesco and Sainsbury’s have told the BBC the big weekly shop is back, and figures from market researchers Kantar show total grocery sales were up 9% in the 12 weeks to 19 April. Meanwhile, some producers have lost their normal market in restaurants and food service, and are reaching out directly to consumers instead.

And we tour the British countryside through the medium of sound. Presented by Charlotte Smith Produced by Heather Simons
