08/01/21 George Eustice, Agroecology, Robot Sprayer
Environment secretary George Eustice discusses an England-only consultation into allowing genetic editing.
Defra Secretary George Eustice discusses an England-only consultation into allowing genetic editing. Mr Eustice discussed the issue at the Oxford Farming Conference where agriculture ministers from the devolved governments met and gave their reaction to the proposals to allow it.
A new report published this week maps out the future for British farming. The Food, Countryside and Farming Commission wants to see a transition to agroecology by 2030, and has published research on how the industry might get there.
Plus we see a new piece of kit in action - a robotic sprayer which has the potential to make the job much easier.
