06/01/24 Oxford Farming Conferences: political announcements and the power of diversity.
Thousands of delegates descend on Oxford for the farming conferences - The Oxford Farming Conference and Oxford Real Farming Conference.
We report from the farming conferences in Oxford. From the Oxford Farming Conference, we hear from the Environment Secretary and his Labour shadow on food and farming in England, and talk to the chairman of the OFC about this year's conference theme - the power of diversity.
We talk to one of the founders of the Oxford Real Farming Conference and speak to delegates there. We also join a session on dating - not to find a partner in love, but to match people with land and those wanting to farm it.
