The strict rules on selling unpasteurised milk in England are to be reviewed. At the moment it can only be bought direct from the farmer, and it has been banned in Scotland. The Food Standards Agency is concerned about raw milk being sold via the internet and vending machines. The Association of Unpasteurised Milk Producers and Consumers thinks a review isn't needed. And, Charlotte Smith finds out how pears can be grown with less water in Kent. She also discusses a new research project to breed drought resistant peas, at the Food and Environment Research Agency in York.
