Caz Graham hears how the government's food and farming department is failing to source its own food sustainably.
Caz Graham hears how the government's food and farming department is failing to source its own food sustainably.
In June DEFRA published new rules on buying sustainable food for its government canteens. But figures show that DEFRA hasn't sourced all its fish from sustainable sources and hasn't met its target of 10% of food meeting organic or other high-environmental specifications.
Instead, DEFRA managed just 3%. Caz asks Agriculture minister Jim Paice why.
After a decade of debate, Caz hears Northern Ireland still isn't any closer to having a National Park.
And she visits a Cumbrian sheep farmer in the final stages of fattening up this year's lambs and preparing them for market.
Presented by Caz Graham. Produced by Clare Freeman.
