	Description:		A cross-party independent commission has been set up to suggest ways to improve the new EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement and smooth current exporting difficulties. It’s not a government-backed body - it’s being run by the Best Of Britain group, which calls itself a ’pro-internationalism campaign’. Anna Hill speaks its leader, the Labour MP Hilary Benn. 100 days have passed since the Brexit transition period came to an end, and we continue our focus on how UK food and farming businesses are adapting. Today we hear from Ian Wright, Chief Executive of the Food and Drink Federation. For many UK sheep farmers, it now costs more to shear their sheep than they receive for the fleeces. We visit a New Forest smallholder who is on a one-woman mission to find a different market for her wool. Presented by Anna Hill Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Heather Simons
