How to balance protecting the environment with the need to feed a growing population is the conundrum facing UK agriculture today. Sybil hears from Oxford University’s Dieter Helm, an expert in climate change, biodiversity and agriculture. We report on a tree planting pilot scheme in Nottinghamshire aimed at reducing flooding. With six weeks to go until Brexit deadline day - the country's biggest pork producer is calling for more government help to set up trade deals with the EU and other countries to prevent a big bump in business post Brexit. Presented by Sybil Ruscoe Produced by Alun Beach.
