Farming and Food Production
The British farmer and the consumer have seen great changes since joining the EEC. The consumer wants cheaper food, the farmer is demanding higher prices in order to stay in business. The shops are full of foreign foods, while the British farmer exports his traditional produce. In the interests of efficiency and competition the farmer relies more and more on larger units, intensive cultivation, chemical fertilisers and pesticides. Are these modern methods compatible with good husbandry and ' respect for the land '? In the rtudio to answer your questions on prices, farming methods and conservation issues, are farmers Diana Collins and John Christian.
Sue MacGregor is in the Chair. Produced by the Woman's Hour Unit
