Oxford Farming Conference: Day 2
Anna Hill presents the programme from the second day of the Oxford Farming Conference.
Day Two of the Oxford Farming Conference, and debate centres on the tension between environmentalism and farming. Anna Hill talks to environmental campaigner George Monbiot, who describes the current system of farm subsidy as "an obscenity", and gets reactions from farmers at the conference to his views. She also meets one of the forty scholars - young people who are sponsored to come to the conference, and asks her views about the future of farming for the next generation.
Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Emma Campbell.
