Farming Today This Week

Sybil Ruscoe rounds up a week of programmes during which Farming Today has concentrated on trees and - inevitably - coronavirus.

Farming Today This Week concentrates on just two topics: trees and coronavirus. Sybil Ruscoe asks what's happening to all the ambitious promises about tree-planting targets made by the political parties during the run-up to the last general election. We hear from the Woodland Trust, the forestry organisation Confor, and a Wiltshire farmer who has a passion for planting trees as a way of increasing butterfly biodiversity on his land.

At the end of the second week of the coronavirus lockdown in the UK, Farming Today finds out what impact it's having on fruit and vegetable growers and on abattoirs.

Presented by Sybil Ruscoe and poduced by Emma Campbell.
