GM fish food, First Milk boss, fines for unfair supermarkets?

The government has confirmed that supermarkets could be fined millions if they are found to have treated suppliers unfairly. Presented by Charlotte Smith.

The Government has confirmed that supermarkets could be fined millions of pounds by the Groceries Code Adjudicator, if they're found to have treated suppliers unfairly. The measure will be put through Parliament in the next few weeks.

Chairman of the troubled dairy processor First Milk, Sir Jim Paice, tells Charlotte Smith that he's confident the farmer-owned business has a future.

Vegetable oil from GM Camelina plants has been successfully trialled as a feed for farmed salmon. The scientists developing the crop say the oil provides essential long chain Omega 3s which are currently supplied by fishmeal, which many say is unsustainable.
Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Sarah Swadling.
