	Description:		In June, Farming Today reported that educational resources published by the company Twinkl which taught children about food and farming contained significant errors and had to be withdrawn. In response the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board drew together a consortium of food and farming groups to create a set of resources which they hope will allow teachers access to the correct information. Anna Hill asks Christine Watts from the AHDB what they hope to achieve and how they can cut through the sheer amount of incorrect information available on the internet. Residents in Solva and St. Davids in Pembrokeshire have joined forces to try to buy some old farm buildings and land in order to create a Community Farm. Mariclare Carey-Jones has been to Pembrokeshire to meet campaigner Gerald Miles. In the 1970s Dave Chorley and friends decided to make shapes in crops as a prank. Their work and these crop circles became the subject of great speculation and media interest, and Dave's son Jim has chosen to remember his Dad's work and this extraordinary time in song.
