Farming Today This Week: The Future of Food
Coming from Bristol's Food Connections Festival, Charlotte Smith asks her guests what farms and food production will look like in the years to come.
Recorded in a tent in front of an audience at Bristol's Food Connections Festival, Charlotte Smith asks her guests what farms and food production could look like in the decades to come.
Those guests include the finalists in the BBC Food and Farming Awards 'future food' category - the winner, Sheffield dairy Our Cow Molly, McDonalds, and GrowUp Urban Farms. Charlotte's also joined by agricultural commentator, Cedric Porter. Together, they discuss emerging food trends - where and why innovation is happening, and the factors that are influencing consumers and producers alike in the dairy industry, in livestock production, and the use of hydroponics to grow plants indoors in cities.
Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Mark Smalley.
