There are high hopes for vertical farming, but is it being sold too hard as an answer for feeding future populations? We hear from Nuffield Scholar Sarah Hughes. Farmer and Countryfile presenter, Adam Henson, has a small herd of Albion cattle, a breed which has recently been added to the Rare Breed Survival Trust watchlist. Sybil Ruscoe visited him for a nerve-wracking pregnancy testing day. And Mariclare Carey-Jones reports on the proposed M4 relief road near Newport in South Wales and its potential impacts on the Gwent Levels Nature Reserve at Magor Marsh. Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
