The largest cheese show in the world gets underway at Nantwich this week. Dave Howard meets the producers from across the globe gathering there to show off their wares.
Have you ever wondered where your cheese comes from? The likely answer is from abroad. The UK currently imports more dairy products than it exports. This week the largest cheese festival in the world gets underway at Nantwich in Cheshire. Farming Today meets the cheesemakers travelling from across the world to show off their wares and asks how Britain is faring in an increasingly competitive and globalised market.
And it's well known that people in rural areas suffer from poor mobile phone coverage. But residents in one village in Worcestershire have been without phone signal for more than three weeks. Dave Howard hears the risks and problems it's posed for their businesses and livelihoods.
Presented by Dave Howard. Produced by Datshiane Navanayagam.
