Farming Today This Week

Many upland farmers say they can't make a living from their difficult land and are reliant on subsidies. Caz Graham asks if its time to take farming away from the uplands.

This week a new report - the National Ecosystem Assessment - proposed reassessing how land is valued - putting a price on beautiful views, clean water, recreation, and all the other things the uplands provide. It aims to calculate how land could be used for the greatest benefit. But for some farms that might not be for food production.

Caz Graham visits the Peak District national park, to see first hand the challenges and opportunities for those farming this wild and difficult terrain.
