What does the Paris climate change agreement mean for agriculture?

What does the Paris climate change agreement mean for Britain's farmers? Plus an explanation of the difference between English and British wine. Presented by Anna Hill.

Following the historic deal to combat climate change hammered out in Paris, we talk to the Sustainable Food Trust about the implications for farmers. Livestock contribute to the world's methane - a more potent greenhouse gas than CO2. But soil and forests can also act as carbon sinks, so a balance needs to be met.

Farming Today continues its search for a name for English sparkling wine - and we also hear from a wine expert, who explains the difference between British and English wine.

And all this week we're hearing about the Christmas food produced on farms. Today, it's Stilton.

Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Emma Campbell.
