Livestock production and consumption will have to be cut back, says new pan-European study. We hear from Professor Allan Buckwell, one of the authors of the report. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has announced a new £3 million scheme to inform farmers how to reduce ammonia emissions on their farms. The Bumblebee Conservation Trust is concerned about the effect imported bumblebees are having on our wild population of native bumblebees. A primary school in Lancashire has taken up pigeon racing, winning cash prizes. Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
