James Rebanks: Sustainable food in a growing world
Shepherd James Rebanks is an advocate for a better kind of farming that is more sustainable and environmentally responsible. But are his ideas compatible with affordable food?
In a special edition of the programme, HARDtalk is in the area known as the Lake District in north-west England. The landscape is beautiful, but is not wild.
