Clarity from confusion as government departments finally agree on seasonal workers pay.

Clarity from confusion as government departments finally agree on seasonal workers pay.

The Government sees no need to change its policies on growing food in light of the war in Ukraine. Concerns over grain have led the EU to review its approach so farmers can grow more crops, but the Defra Secretary George Eustice tells us that "the impacts will be on price, rather than supply”.

We’ve been looking at UK duck production all week from meat to feathers and today we visit a rare breed duck farm in Cornwall.

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
