BBC Radio 4 - Farming Today, 09/01/21 Farming Today This Week: gene editing, energy and the new trade deal with EU

Gene editing, energy and the realities of our new trading relationship with the EU.

Gene editing, energy and the realities of our new trading relationship with the European Union.

The government has launched a consultation in England on allowing gene editing research to be used to produce crops and livestock.
We've had the first working week under our new trade deal with the EU. So how is it going for food and farming?
Producing energy on farm isn’t new, but it is becoming more common, from anaerobic digesters to wind turbines and fields of solar arrays, what often started off as a way of being energy self-sufficient as a farm business can now be a business in itself. 

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
