This week the European Commission will table its plans for a review of the Common Agricultural Policy or CAP as it is known. It accounts for 80% of the entire European budget and the overall aim is to reduce the subsidies currently paid to the farming sector. The Welsh Government has set up a task force to examine the impact of reform and we speak to the Chairman.

Once upon a time Wales milled it's own grain -but today there are only a handful mills in use and those that are have to source their grain such as wheat, rye or spelt from other parts of the UK or even as far as the Steppes in Kazakhstan. But with the emphasis on local foods, rising fuel costs and food security there are calls for more wheat to be grown in Wales. Andrew and Anne Parry are doing just that - they restored Felin Ganol - the only working watermill in Ceredigion, on the River Wyre at Llanrhystud near Aberystwyth and have grown and trialed a new Ceredigion wheat.

...and how do you like your eggs? With a great awareness of food being ethically farmed and locally sourced, the UK is experiencing the largest revival in hen-keeping since the Second World War. Around 700,000 of us now keep them at home, according to figures from the British Hen Welfare Trust - this a rise of 80 per cent in three years.
