In this episode, we look at the future of the UK potato sector with a special visit to the Potato Days UK event at Dyson Farming.

With the crop under pressure to reduce its carbon footprint, we find out how potato growers and processors are reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

We discuss the role regenerative agriculture has when it comes to potato production – a crop which involves moving huge amounts of soil.

And we look at the latest research on biostimulants and ask: do they really work and what is the science behind them?

We also discuss prospects for budget cuts at Defra, the latest on the UK bluetongue outbreak and vaccines for combating bovine tuberculosis.

This special episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast is co-hosted by Johann Tasker and specialist arable reporter Louise Impey.
