21/10/21 Agriculture in the Government's Net Zero Strategy and COP26, apple pickers and storage
With amendments to the Environment Bill rejected and the government's net zero strategy thin on farming content, will agriculture get the attention it deserves at COP26?
As MPs throw out Lords' amendments to the Environment Bill and the Government's Net Zero Strategy looks thin on farming content, we ask will agriculture get the attention it deserves at COP26.
We're talking apples all this week and today we hear from a farmer who's turned to family, friends and Facebook this year to find pickers, and hear how growers store their fruit, chilled for up to a year.
Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
