Charlotte Smith hears the English pilot badger culls will be challenged in court, and the cost of Europe's biodiversity crisis is put at 450 billion euros.

Charlotte Smith hears the English pilot badger culls will be challenged in court. Jack Reedy explains why the Badger Trust have been granted a judicial review of the pilots in West Gloucestershire and West Somerset.

The long await for the supermarket adjudicator may be over. The Groceries Code Adjudicator Bill, which could tighten up rules between supermarkets and their suppliers, is likely to be in the Queen's Speech on the 9th May. MP Tim Farron says it's a positive step forwards.

And Europe's silent crisis, costing billions of pounds a year: biodiversity loss. Dutch Liberal MEP Gerban-Jan Gerbrandy tells Farming Today food prices should go up to reflect the cost to the environment.

Presented by Charlotte Smith. Produced by Clare Freeman in Birmingham.
