British farmers are moving into solar power generation thanks to new tariffs. The CPRE says this is part of the industrialisation of the countryside. Presented by Anna Hill.
It is estimated that by the end of this summer around a third of UK farmers will be involved in producing energy as well as food. The Campaign for Protection of Rural England say they are concerned about the visual impact of more solar panels in the countryside.
And Anna Hill hears about the images of potatoes grown in countries as far afield as Peru and Indonesia which have been entered into the World Potato Photo Competition.
This programme was presented by Anna Hill and produced in Birmingham by Angela Frain.
