Charlotte Smith visits a lab developing genetically modified wheat. Rothamstead Research is applying for a field trial, but Friends of the Earth warn that outside the lab, GM contamination is inevitable.

The animal welfare group Compassion in World Farming has welcomed the conditions in which pigs will be kept at a proposed mega-pig farm in Derbyshire. The development at Foston would house 2 and a half thousand sows and could produce a thousand pigs for sale every week. CIWF says the pigs will be better treated than in most UK pig farms.

And the Woodland Trust is asking people to search for the first ripe blackberry of the season. This year's unusual weather has made brambles flower a month early, and the fruit should soon follow.
