29/06/26 Water resilience on farms, rural place names, soil

Farming Today

Available for 29 days

Calls for more government action to protect water supplies for farming. A series of workshops are taking place across Wales this year to collect hyper-local place names, particularly in rural areas. Later this week we'll be at Groundswell, the regenerative agriculture festival now in its 10th year. Regen ag puts an emphasis on soil, so this week here on Farming Today it's all about earth. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
