Yeo Valley, Floods, Aldi bacon - British or Danish?

A look at the bacon on supermarket shelves that appears to be British but is Danish. And victims of the recent floods descend on Westminster to raise awareness of their plight.

Victims of the recent floods in Yorkshire descend on Westminster to raise awareness of their plight and ask the government for assistance. A petition, plus 500 pairs of wellies, were presented on College Green. Charlotte Smith met some of those attending as they recalled some of their experiences.

Also in today's programme Andrew Dawes visits the headquarters of Yeo Valley to find out how they have achieved success in the organic sector, and Peter Melchett, policy director for the Soil Association, tells Charlotte how organic farming is currently faring. Also, environment correspondent David Gregory-Kumar asks if Aldi are misleading customers by selling Danish bacon surrounded by British flags.

Presented by Charlotte Smith.
