Slavery in British farming, Saving the world's grasslands, The Milk Fountain

This edition includes a report on modern-day slavery in British farming and food production. Reporter Linsey Smith uncovers dangerous conditions and poor treatment in Lincolnshire.

Migrant workers employed in the food and farming industry in Lincolnshire say they are the victims of modern day slavery. The 大象传媒's Linsey Smith has uncovered exploitation, low wages, dangerous working conditions and poor treatment.

Environmentalist Allan Savory says better livestock management is the key to halting climate change. As others call for a cut in meat consumption to reduce greenhouse gases, he says farmers should be managing stock to mimic nature and it could save the grasslands from turning into deserts.

And farmers take the countryside to the capital - we're on London's South Bank to take a look at large milk bottle fountain.

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Sybil Ruscoe.
