10/03/21 Labour shortage risks exploitation, tree planting, beef data
Farming Today
Is a labour shortage in the fields putting workers at risk? We hear why the pressure to pick flowers cheaply could be encouraging operators to take illegal shortcuts. The Governmentβs tree-planting target of 30,000 hectares planted every year by 2025 is now coming under scrutiny by the Environment Food and Rural Affairs select Committee. All week, weβre discussing beef. The bottom line is all important for any beef farmer, and that means improving productivity is a continual quest. For the past 10 years one farm in Wiltshire has been gathering a raft of data to enable them to do just that. Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.Next Episodes
