Bio-pesticides, Wool scouring, Open Farm Sunday
A new report looks at the effect of diverting billions of pounds of farm subsidy to help nature and wildlife instead. Plus, Open Farm Sunday is this weekend. With Charlotte Smith.
A report published in the journal 'Science' today asks whether the new "greener" EU policy of using subsidy to support environmental projects will achieve its aims.
What do you get if you cross a spider with a snowdrop? The answer might be a new insecticide, which kills pests but isn't harmful to bees.
And it's Open Farm Sunday this weekend. Hundreds of farmers prepare to throw open their doors to thousands of visitors.
Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Emma Campbell.
