A pesticide will be used in the UK this year despite having been banned some years ago, neonicotinoids are pesticides used to coat seeds, as the plant grows it kills the pests which eat the crop.

But it also impacts bees and as a result the EU banned their use and this ban was carried over into UK law after Brexit, however they can be used in certain special cases.

Matt Shardlow of the campaign group Buglife explains to Charlotte why he鈥檚 so opposed to the use of this pesticide under any circumstances.

A 1000 acre rewilding site in Norfolk has seen the number of plant species double in just three years. The estate puts the changes partly down to the introduction of free-roaming livestock including red poll cattle, Exmoor ponies and Tamworth pigs.

And Charlotte kicks off a week of Farming Today looking at the dairy industry, with an assessment of the current market situation.
