In this episode, we examine how UK farmers are striving to overcome low confidence in the sector – caused in part by high input costs.
Confidence among farmers is at a low ebb, according to the latest NFU survey – but some sectors are faring better than others.
We look at the future for on-farm robots as a flagship agri-tech start-up warns that it is running out of cash.
As a key investor pulls the plug , we look at how farming entrepreneurs are turning to crowdfunding to secure their future.
We've all the latest commodity prices – and after a brutal year, we find out how free range egg producers are fairing.
Plus, could a King's Coronation fund help ensure the survival of Britain's rare livestock breeds?
