The Government says it wants to require companies producing animal feed to only use soya which doesn鈥檛 destroy forests. We hear whether the supply chain can ensure eco-friendly soya.

As world leaders meet at the international climate conference in Glasgow this week, we're looking at net zero and the measures farmers are taking to help them meet government targets.

We hear from a team in Angus using techniques to target individual plants with spray.

Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
