The President of the World Farmer's Organisation Theo de Jager interviewed on the UN's World Food Day

Farming Today speaks to the President of the World Farmer's Organisation on the UN's World Food Day, and reflects on the UK's worst storm 30 years after it devastated the country.

On the UN's World Food Day, and as farming ministers from around the world reflect on the weekend's G7 Agriculture talks, Farming Today hears from the President of the World Farmer's Organisation Theo de Jager.

It's 30 years since the devastating storm that killed 18 people, destroyed millions of trees and caused a billion pounds worth of damage. Farming Today meets a farmer who was there, and then Caz Graham asks the Woodland Trust what has been learnt since about protecting our vulnerable trees from vicious winds.
