Farming Today This Week

Farming and countryside news. Organic food - healthy and sustainable or an overpriced luxury? Charlotte Smith hits the streets of Bristol to find out.

Organic food - healthy and sustainable or an overpriced luxury? Charlotte Smith heads to an organic wholesalers in the middle of Bristol and chats to growers, retailers and consumers.

In the last quarter, sales of organic foods were up by 0.6%. It comes after five years in which total annual spending on organic food fell 22% from its peak in 2008. Charlotte asks whether it signals a turnaround for a sector hit hard by recession or if, in the eyes of hard-up shoppers, buying organic is way down on their list of priorities.

Presented by Charlotte Smith, produced in Bristol by Anna Jones.
