Charlotte Smith hears how protected status on foods could limit expansion for UK producers.
A brewer in Kent does not want to get Protected Geographical Status for his ale as he says that it would limit his ability to expand in the industry. However, another brewer in Kent says that the protection they get through labelling their product as Kentish Ale has been a great benefit.
Also, the fate of a prize-winning pedigree bull which tested positive for TB is to be decided by a high court judge. Charlotte Smith speaks to his owner, Ken Jackson.
And the Forestry Commission is giving money to landowners to plant trees in a measure to slow the flow of water in flood risk areas.
Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Emma Weatherill.
