23/10/26 Wild fire summit, Farming for the Future award winner, picking plums by rowing boat

Farming Today

Available for 25 days

A wildfire summit is being held today in Westminster, bringing together government departments and agencies to work out plans to address future fires. We announce the winner of the Âé¶¹Éç Food and Farming Awards' Farming for the Future winner, Bronagh O’Kane. And picking plums by rowing boat: the Tregothnan estate in Cornwall has a very unusual micro climate on the Fal estuary, allowing a rare variety of plum to grow. The Kea plum is small and similar to a damson and very unusually grows so close to the waterside that some trees are harvested from the water. Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
