BBC Radio 4 - Farming Today, 07/11/20 Farming Today This Week: Rural crime, trade, Agriculture Bill

We hear how rural crime is an increasing problem, costing around £59 million a year.

When we talk about rural crime you might imagine the odd bit of poaching, but it's actually an increasing problem costing around £59 million a year. We highlight just a few of the major problems for rural communities, from theft to intimidation.
MPs have again backed the Agricuture Bill in the House of Commons, rejecting amendments from the House of Lords which would have given legal protection to food standards in future trade deals. This follows ministers’ decision to put the Trade and Agriculture Commission on a permanent statutory footing, allowing it to report to Parliament on trade deals.
We hear from the government's trade adviser, Tony Abbott, better known for being a former Australian Prime Minister.

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

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