As DEFRA clarifies its ‘rapid review’ of farming policy - we discuss what farmers and environmentalists want to see, to make it all work better. NFU president Minette Batters has stressed that food production and Environmental Land Management schemes do go hand in hand. Conservation groups have reacted strongly to the what the changes might mean. We brought together Tom Allen-Stevens, Oxfordshire farmer and former Chair of the Oxford Farming Conference and Sue Pritchard Director of the Food Farming and Countryside Commission to see what they make of the debate.

British wine production has traditionally been white and sparkling - and although domestic sales have risen over the years, it's the export market which has really taken off. Hattingley Valley vineyard near Winchester has two vineyards in Hampshire and also uses grapes from other vineyards across the South of England. They export around a fifth of what they produce - which is around 200 thousand bottles every year. It's headed by a wine maker from Australia who now sells English wine to Australia among other places.
