18/11/25 Inheritance Tax a year on from farmers' rally, soy in animal feed, lanolin protein


Listen Later

A year on from a big farmers' rally in Whitehall, farmers again travel to London to lobby MPs about inheritance tax.

As COP 30 continues in Brazil, we look at imports of South American soy and its use for animal feed on UK farms. Brazil has a moratorium on cutting down rainforest to allow farmers to plant soya, but there's concern that pressure from big-business could reverse that protection.

Presenter: Anna Hill
