BBC Radio 4 - Farming Today, French vote to end vegan 'steak', Farm Office workers, Fly-tipping update

Will the UK follow France and stop vegan and vegetarian products being called 'sausages'?

The latest news about farming. Anna Hill gets the reaction on the decision by French MPs to stop vegan and vegetarian products from being called 'sausages' and 'steak'.

French MPs have voted to stop vegan and vegetarian products from being called 'sausages' and 'steak'. Anna Hill gets the reaction from Dominika Piasecka at The Vegan Society and Jilly Greed, a Devon beef farmer and a representative of 'Ladies in Beef'.

In a week devoted to the jobs that compliment farming, Anna Hill has been to Hollow Trees Farm in Semer in Suffolk to find out about the people who work behind-the-scenes to keep the administration of the farm in good working order.

There was a strong reaction to yesterday's item on fly-tipping, and today there's a selection of those responses.

Producer: Toby Field.
