Oxford Farming Conference: Day 2

BBC Radio 4 - Farming Today, Oxford Farming Conference: Day 2

Anna Hill presents the programme from the second day of the Oxford Farming Conference.

Day Two of the Oxford Farming Conference, and debate centres on the tension between environmentalism and farming. Anna Hill talks to environmental campaigner George Monbiot, who describes the current system of farm subsidy as "an obscenity", and gets reactions from farmers at the conference to his views. She also meets one of the forty scholars - young people who are sponsored to come to the conference, and asks her views about the future of farming for the next generation.

Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Emma Campbell.

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