BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, 14/07/2010

How food is saving the British economy, and putting politics back into planning.

With Winifred Robinson. Including the 'innovative' food industry on the up, putting politics back into planning, and could turning gas into bricks boost Britain and the planet?

Consumer affairs with Winifred Robinson. The Government is to scrap a new planning body designed to speed up major developments and infrastructure. Decentralisation Minister Greg Clarke says this is not a return to bad old days of Nimbyism; British business is not so sure.

Plus a leading British scientist and entrepreneur reckons he's come up with a method of turning harmful carbon emissions into harmless building bricks; is this a genuine eureka moment for Britain's green industries? 

The world of Google search is on the verge of being a transformative experience as business wises up to the publics reluctance to click on paid for adverts and targets technology to ensure they are in your face when you log on.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
