About this listen

Welcome to "We Need to Talk About Farming" – a new spin-off series from myself Will Evans and the Food, Farming and Countryside Commission.

There's a lot of noise in farming right now. For many, the future feels uncertain. This series is about having better conversations about the biggest issues facing agriculture. In each episode, we'll take on a topic that's making headlines and dividing WhatsApp groups. We'll go beyond the buzzwords, cut through the cliches, and work out what really matters.

In this episode, we're talking about nature with Holly Purdey and James Robinson.

About 70% of the UK is farmland. British farmers have a massive role to play in maintaining clean rivers and fresh air and helping wildlife to thrive. But there are nagging worries about the impact of taking land out of production, for nature as well as energy and housing. And farmers who want to support wildlife are concerned that government support may be falling away. How do we maintain momentum for farming that works with nature? How do we make smart decisions about how to use our limited land?
