BBC Radio 4 - Farming Today, 28/02/20 EU trade deal, Energy audit, Rogue chickens

The government has published its approach to trade negotiations with the EU.

The government has published a document setting out its approach to post-Brexit trade negotiations with the EU. What are the implications for farming and fishing?

Almost a month after the UK formally left the European Union, the government has published a document outlining what it would like its future trading relationship with the EU to look like.  Negotiations start next week. Caz Graham talks to a spokesman from the International Chamber of Commerce, who explains the detail of the document and gives his view on what it might mean for farming and fishing.

Continuing a week-long look at how agriculture can achieve its "net zero" target, we visit a farm in Wiltshire which has carried out an energy audit. 

In Jersey, the government has been culling feral chickens. It's not been a popular move with some residents, as BBC Radio Jersey's political reporter explains.

Presented by Caz Graham 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.
