	Description:		The British Frozen Food Federation reports a 68 per cent increase in some retailers sales of frozen peas as we went into lockdown. We speak to a pea farmer about what it means for him. In our latest Farming Today Audio Diary, we hear from a farm vet about waiting for a Coronavirus test result. After the latest round of trade talks between the UK and the EU, a government spokesperson said there’d been ‘limited progress’. The main areas of contention remain EU access to British fishing waters and the ‘level playing field’ on environmental, labour or social standards. We find out what it all means. And we visit a family doing homeschool, as Meat Promotion Wales / Hybu Cig Cymru, launches its own online materiel to teach children where their food comes from. Presented by Charlotte Smith Produced by Heather Simons
