Anna Hill questions Henry Dimbleby about the national food strategy and asks what part food and animal welfare standards will play in future trade deals. The House of Lords are debating a proposed amendment to the Agriculture Bill which will allow genetic editing, which alters the genes within a plant, rather than inserting new ones - we hear from both sides of the debate. Anna's been to a farm in West Norfolk which is trialling grazing sheep on lucerne. Producer: Toby Field
