We hear from the vegan 'Vegan-uary' and dairy farming 'Febru-dairy' online campaigns. Is the twitter-battle for hearts and minds an opportunity to open up a wider debate about farming?
Around ten years ago Cumbrian farmer, Simon Wood, diversified his sheep business into selling welly boots.
In many rural communities, the village hall is the last remaining amenity. Emma Campbell has been to the Oxfordshire village of Horspath, to see what goes on in their village hub.

Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
