Farming Today - 26/05/26 Mounting pressure for Scottish pig farmers, funding for rural churches, selling farm produce at markets
Pig farmers in Scotland say 10% of their national herd has gone to waste because there's oversupply in the market. They're asking their government for help.
Churches across England can now apply for cash to get their leaky roofs fixed, or their stained glass windows repaired, under a new government grant scheme launched this month.
This week we are looking at local food systems. While many of us go to the supermarket, there are other suppliers trying to reach customers in a different way. We hear from some of them.
Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
