BBC Radio 4 - Farming Today, Port Isaac fishing and the latest on the pigs crisis

The latest on the British pig meat crisis and the declining fishing industry of Port Isaac

The latest on the British pig meat crisis and the declining fishing industry of Port Isaac.

Britain's pig industry gathers to lobby the government over the on-going crisis in the world of pork chops and streaky bacon. Anna Hill previews Thursday's summit with the National Pig Association.

And we meet the fishermen and Fishermen's Friends in the picture postcard village of Port Isaac in Cornwall.  It's a stunning location for film and television, but how will the harbour be maintained without a profitable fishing industry?

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