	Description:		New evidence from the world’s longest running experiment at Rothamsted Research shows the threat to food crops from weeds is greater than ever before. The future of the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board is under growing scrutiny, after a second ballot of farmers - this time potato growers - recorded 64% in favour of ending their mandatory levy, which is paid to the board. And all this week we're looking at how the pandemic has affected food, farming and rural businesses, a year on from the first lockdown.
