In the last of the series, Derek Cooper investigates the meat of the future.
Chickens with fewer feathers, pigs with chicken genes to make them grow bigger, sheep with plant genes to make them pest resistant - is genetic engineering the next wave in meat production? While scientists believe these processes will result in cheaper, tastier and healthier meat, their work is still shrouded in secrecy. This programme, which contains explicit sequences demonstrating artificial insemination techniques, reveals what the farmyard of the future could look like, and talks to people on both sides of the fence.
