	Description:		Protests by European farmers have sparked a wider debate across the UK, about whether farmers here might be tempted away from growing food, by payments for environmental work. We hear from farmers concerned about how environmental policies are affecting food security. We also speak to Professor Tim Benton, Research Director of the Environment and Society Centre at Chatham House who says a clear strategy for food, environment and trade is the key to enabling sustainability in the food chain, and how a 'just transition' from the previous system to the new ones should pull all those areas together. The pheasant shooting season in the UK has just come to a close. So before it ended, we thought we’d take a look what gundogs do in a shoot, as part of our week-long focus on working animals. We meet a trainer who's been working with gundogs for more than 20 years for the first drive in a day’s shooting organised by Blannicombe Sporting Club in Devon.
