A new report published today by the Committee on Climate Change says big changes to agriculture are essential if the UK is to achieve its climate change targets. Anna Hill asks what this would mean for farmers, and whether change could be an opportunity rather than a threat. We also hear from a farmer involved with Extinction Rebellion, and find out what Prince Charles had to say about the environment in his speech to the World Economic Forum in Davos.
Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Emma Campbell.
