The head of a team carrying out water quality monitoring on livestock farms across the UK says their evidence shows the majority of farms tested so far are breaking rules which are supposed to protect rivers from pollution. The evidence backs up the findings in Sir Jon Cunliffe's report from the Independent Water Commission, which was published yesterday. It found that the 'Farming Rules For Water' weren't being complied with, and enforcement should be improved.
And all this week we're looking at how to boost wellbeing in farming. Today, Sarah Swadling meets a Devon group set up to rebuild social connections - the Crediton Area Vintage Farmers.
Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Sally Challoner.
