Barnstorming UK is an initiative which sees prominent politicians interviewed in front of a live audience by a journalist with an interest in similar issues.

I interviewed Neil Parish MP, chairman of the House of Commons environment, food and rural affairs committee, which scrutinises the government's policies for agriculture.

We covered a range of issues – including Neil's work, his views on Defra secretary of state Michael Gove, food standards, animal welfare, environmental payments to farmers, international trade in agricultural products and – of course – Brexit.

This episode of Inside Farming was recorded live on Thursday, 7 March 2019 in the Old Tithe Barn at Bix Manor, Henley on Thames.

With thanks to Neil Parish, Barnstorming UK and Bix Manor.
