23/08/23 The Countryside Code; sugar shortages; vertical farming for salads

Is there enough awareness and understanding of the Countryside Code? And why has there been a shortage of sugar in the UK this year?

Farmers share their experiences of having their crops damaged, their livestock scared, and signs on footpaths being discarded by the general public accessing their land. What should be done to ensure the Countryside Code is followed?

A sugar shortage in the UK sees supplies imported from Central and South America.

And how a warehouse in Kent is growing salad crops, vertically.

Presented by Steffan Messenger and produced by Rhiannon Fitz-Gerald.
