	Description:		Farming Today looks back at the Queen’s life, and in particular her passion for all things rural; as a landowner, farmer, accomplished racehorse owner and as a countrywoman. Throughout her life she took an active interest in agriculture, particularly her herds of native breed cattle. The Queen also lent her support to more than 600 charities and organisations in the UK and Northern Ireland, many of them involved with farming, livestock and conservation. We hear from some of them on her legacy. All week we’ve been taking a closer look at insects in farming: as pollinators, pests and potential protein. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
