Will people be eating grass in a future without livestock?

A pioneering project is setting out to prove that the nutritional goodness in grass can be extracted and fed directly to humans.

We visit a two-million-pound project called 'Pasture to Plate' which is setting out to prove that the nutritional goodness in grass can be extracted and fed directly to humans.

Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Heather Simons
