It's a revolving door at the AHDB, with the appointment of a new chair – and the announcement that chief executive Graham Wilkinson is moving on.

Scottish livestock leaders say a climate committee report calling for less beef consumption is based on flawed evidence.

Why a new deal between London and Brussels could make life easier on your farm.

And Louise visits the Green Farm Collective – and discovers that bread made from regenerative wheat really does taste different.
