A new report says farming needs urgent change to its image.

A new report says farming needs urgent change to its image. And Jeremy Clarkson on his farm.

A report’s published which is blunt in its assessment of the image of farming. Urgent change is needed to prevent disastrous labour shortages, according to academics at Exeter University. 
He speak to Jeremy Clarkson about his farm in the Cotswolds, and hear what farmers think of his TV series Clarkson's Farm.
And how planting hedgerows can help capture and clean water that flows from farmland on to the River Trent.  

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
