Thames Water have developed a way to turn waste into a farm fertiliser by extracting phosphorous from London's sewage and Charlotte Smith visits 'The People's Supermarket', an independent food store in London that aims to run as a co-operative, aiming to sell some of the fruit and vegetables that would normally be rejected by supermarkets. Farming Today also hears how this season's plum and cherry crops have fared as demand grows for top fruit.
Presented by Charlotte Smith. Produced by Martin Poyntz-Roberts.
