A rainy and disease hit harvest could mean less British wheat in our biscuits and breakfast cereals. Plus the impact of the summer washout on 'pick your own' farms.
Sarah Swadling reveals how a rainy and disease hit harvest could mean less British wheat in our biscuits and breakfast cereals.
Plus how a cottage garden favourite, the lupin, could help maintain food security. A new study is underway to see whether it's possible to use home-grown field lupins in animal feed instead of imported soya.
And from strawberries, blueberries to autumn veg - the impact of the summer washout on 'pick your own' farms.
Presented by Sarah Swadling.
Produced by Clare Freeman in Birmingham.
