Farming Today calf, Wheely boats, Condensed nature

Felicity Evans presents news on how condensing wildlife and its habitat into a smaller area of land could be a win-win situation for farmers.

Should the countryside be used as a haven for wildlife or to produce food? Anna Hill meets Marek Nowakowski from the Wildlife farming company, who is doing research with DEFRA to see if its possible to condense wildlife in to smaller areas, therefore using a smaller amount of land which could be used for food production, whilst still encouraging the same amount of biodiversity.

All this week Farming Today is exploring how rural tourism impacts on the countryside, its people and its economy. Chris Eldon visits a farm who have diversified in to waterway tours for the less able and elderly.

The sex of the Farming Today calf is revealed, along with its all important new name.
