Role of AHDB Dairy, Amazon Fresh, Goat's milk

With falling dairy prices, Sybil Ruscoe asks about the role of the quango AHDB Dairy. Also, what will be the impact if online grocery service Amazon Fresh launches in the UK?

With falling dairy prices, Sybil Ruscoe asks what's the role of the quango, AHDB Dairy? Whilst it seems that Farmers For Action and the farming unions have been doing all the talking - and shouting - about milk prices and cheap supermarket milk, we've heard very little from the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board - the body that's supposed to work for the dairy industry. Amanda Ball explains what they're doing.

What's the likely impact on UK food producers if online grocery service Amazon Fresh launches in UK? We hear from retail analyst Jeremy Garlick.

And reporter Sarah Falkingham visits Yorkshire Dairy Goats - the biggest supplier of goat's milk in the country.

Presented by Sybil Ruscoe and produced by Mark Smalley.
