Tim Addicott finds out how Norfolk's making changes to tackle climate change's effects.

An academic and a climate activist from Norfolk give their take on what was achieved at the UN COP26 summit in Glasgow.

Two examples of Norfolk at the forefront of an emerging sustainable agricultural sector. The world’s largest vertical farm being built west of Norwich and the glass houses covering the area of 26 football pitches on the eastern edge of the city. Both have the ambition of indoor, all year long, growing of fresh produce like tomatoes, salad leaf and cucumbers.
