20/06/19 - Tree planting, the Royal Highland Show, beef emissions and farm safety

13 and a half thousand hectares of new woodland was planted in the UK last year. But in England the Government tree planting target was missed by 72%. The Woodland Trust describes this as woeful. But others argue the Government's concentrating on the wrong thing, and that re-wilding would be more effective in helping to meet carbon targets.

We visit the Royal Highland Show as it gets underway near Edinburgh. With two and a half thousand exhibitors and 190,000 visitors expected over four days, it's one of the biggest shows in the UK.

How sustainable is your steak? A new report from the University of Cambridge compares the sustainability of the 4 main systems of beef farming around the world, looking at the land, feed and water used and the emissions produced.
