Growing up on a farm, surrounded by muck, could be much better for you than living in a clean house. Researchers at the University of Bristol have compared piglets reared in a sanitised environment to those kept on a farm. They found that the farm animals have a better immune system - and this also correlates to humans.

Food and farming is the biggest industry in the UK - but could it expand to aid the UK economy? Farming Minister, Jim Paice MP thinks that the industry can export more food to expand. Professor Tim Lang believes that there needs to be comprehensive investment in rural housing and agriculture colleges, and that farming can't be left to market forces. Lord Donald Curry believes that although UK agriculture could expand, farming will never become a dominant industry.
