The Future of UK Food and Farming Policy

Charlotte Smith is joined by a panel of farmers and experts to explore the future of UK food and farming policy.

It's a hugely significant moment for agricultural policy in the UK. The Common Agricultural Policy - which has governed our farmers for decades - is going through major reform. Meanwhile, Brexit brings with it the chance to write our own fishing, farming and environmental policy. And farming policy is something that impacts on everyone - from what we eat, to how our countryside looks.

In this programme, Charlotte Smith explores the different directions the UK's food and farming policy could take with a panel of guests:

- Patrick Holden, organic farmer and founding director of The Sustainable Food Trust
- Emily Norton, Nuffield Scholar writing a report on UK farm policy
- David Baldock, Senior Fellow at the Institute of European Environmental Policy
