Going organic is essential for combating the climate and nature crisis. But what does that look like for British farmers producing our food? Farm Development Manager and all-around soil guru, Will Mayor, took us out into the fields for a Yeo Valley Organic farm tour. Join us up to our knees in grasses to smell happy soil in the herbal lays, search for quinoa-shaped signals of healthy plant roots, and understand more about the impacts of the climate crisis on our farmers.

And there's more... Join us on Friday for part 2, where we meet some very happy cows.

Thanks to our friends at Yeo Valley Organic for supporting this series and to Will for a brilliant farm experience.
