The true cost of food - should farmers be taxed on their impact on the environment? And the German hop harvest is hit by a drought.
The true cost of food: should farmers be taxed on their impact on the environment? Patrick Holden, founding Director of the Sustainable Food Trust, says the price of food should reflect the environmental impact of producing it.
The German hop harvest is hit by a drought. We hear how this will affect British hop growers.

Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
