19/10/24 - Farming Today This Week: Biodiversity COP, UK wine and organic milk shortages
Manage episode 445848688 series 1301216
The UK is in danger of violating international agreements on restoring nature, according to The Wildlife Trusts. It says the upcoming COP 16 on biodiversity is a crucial chance for the Government to demonstrate how it will meet targets to halt and reverse the decline of nature by 2030.
As the grape harvest gets underway, we take a deep dive into a growing UK farm sector - viticulture. There are more than 10,000 acres of vines grown across the UK, and that area is expanding. Recent data shows more than 80 new vineyards opened in 2023 - bringing the total number to more than a thousand for the first time.
And where has all the organic skimmed milk gone? Our listeners wanted to know...so we found out.
