Farming for Nature - The Long Game

BBC Radio 4 - On Your Farm, Farming for Nature - The Long Game

Caz Graham finds out about projects aiming to manage the land in harmony with nature.

Caz Graham gets progress reports from two rural businesses trying to manage their land in better harmony with the natural environment.

Caz Graham makes virtual return visits to two people she's met before, who are trying to manage their land with the environment in mind. Martin Lines runs his Cambridgeshire arable farm with the aim of achieving the best outcomes for nature, while still needing to turn a profit, and Tom Orde-Powlett at the Bolton Castle Estate in Wensleydale manages his grouse moor to aid curlew recovery. Two years on, Caz checks in with them for progress reports.
