Scottish geese, lamb and flowers

The Scottish environment minister discusses a wild goose cull and Sainsburys responds to more criticism over its promotion of New Zealand lamb. Presented by Charlotte Smith.

NFU Scotland have suggested that wild geese in the hebrides should be culled and their carcasses sold for food. Scottish environment minister Paul Wheelhouse talks about the problems in managing protected geese on the Island of Islay, which destroy farmers crops and threaten livelihoods.

Sainsburys responds to more criticism over its promotion of New Zealand lamb. Farmers say that their product is being pushed to the back of the queue. As National Flower week draws to a close, florist Grace Farrimond says that we must start growing and buying local.

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced in Bristol by Ruth Sanderson.
