Farming Today This Week: Flooding Special

Charlotte Smith and a panel of four experts take a look at the issue of flooding, after the wettest winter on record. Pete Fox, head of strategy at the Environment Agency, Professor Phil Haygarth, a water and soil expert from Lancaster University, Ian Moodie, flood management adviser at the National Farmers' Union, and environmentalist and journalist George Monbiot discuss how farming contributes to flooding, and how it might also offer solutions. The panel also debates the thorny issue of prioritising homes over farmland when it comes to flooding. And is there a choice to be made between flood defence and food security in the future?

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced in Bristol by Anna Jones.
