A conference of European women in agriculture hears one in three women suffer gender violence and intimidation. The event was held in Brussels.

A third of women living and working in the countryside in Europe are suffering violence and intimidation. The statistic was revealed at a conference of the women's committee of Copa Cogeca - an organisation which brings together 60 EU farming organisations. Sybil Ruscoe also hears about calls for brewers to use less water. One idea discussed at a UN climate change event was to use alternative crops like quinoa instead of barley, because it needs less water.
