12: Is Agriculture Evil?

After a bit of talk about starting a book club (but with none of that smutty Mills and Boon stuff) and once Callum McInerney-Riley had finished recapping every mouthful of his meal at Fallow in London, Richard, Richard and Callum finally got into the meat of the show and answering a listener question.

Richard Negus really delved into the history of land management on this one, bringing up dates which everyone had hoped to forget, from the Corn Laws to CAP and ELMS.

It is particularly worthwhile listening to the end of this weeks episode too.
