Farmers Weekly Question Time: Harper Adams University

Welcome to this special episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast – the Farmers Weekly Question Time event at Harper Adams University.

Recorded in front of a live studio audience, farmers, students and other guests quiz industry leaders on topical agricultural issues.

Our panel is:

Defra farm minister Mark Spencer
Harper Adams vice chancellor Michael Lee
Vicki Hird, head of farming at Sustain
Merseyside farmer and YouTube influencer Olly Harrison

Questions include:

What is the best way to encourage farmers to take part in Defra's Environmental Land Management (ELM) scheme?
How can the outcomes and value of ELM be measured without any baselining before the scheme starts?
With land expensive and finance scarce, what is the best way for youngsters to get into farming?
Will trade deals between the UK and other countries be good or bad for the sustainability of UK agriculture?
Does the panel agree with the principle that consumers must pay the real cost of food?
What should be done to secure UK food production from the loss of agricultural land for large-scale tree-planting projects, including the purchase of family farms for carbon offsetting by large corporations?
Is Jeremy Clarkson still a good ambassador for UK agriculture? Or should he be cancelled?

Sponsored by Lloyds Bank and AB Agri, this Question Time event was recorded on Thursday, 2 February 2023.

Hosted by Farmers Weekly Podcast editor Johann Tasker.
