Country Focus: COP26 and Agriculture

COP26 and Agriculture

BBC Radio Wales - Country Focus, COP26 and Agriculture

We discuss farming and climate change ahead of the major UN summit.

As all eyes turn to Glasgow and the COP26, we ask what role agriculture has to play in tackling global warming - is it a problem or part of the solution?

Alarm bells have been ringing loud and clear for decades but in more recent years extreme heatwaves, droughts and flooding have pushed the threat posed by rising temperatures far higher up the political agenda.  World leaders, business groups and campaigners gather in Glasgow next weekend, for the COP26 summit but will it be a turning point for our planet? 
This week, BBC Wales' Environment correspondent, Steffan Messenger is joined by a panel of guests to focus on farming - an important part of the Welsh economy and rural way of life of course, but a sector too that's right at the heart of the debate around how we confront climate change.
