Welcome to "We Need to Talk About Farming" – a new spin-off series from myself Will Evans and the Food, Farming and Countryside Commission.

There's a lot of noise in farming right now. For many, the future feels uncertain. This series is about having better conversations about the biggest issues facing agriculture. In each episode, we'll take on a topic that's making headlines and dividing social media and WhatsApp groups. We'll go beyond the buzzwords, cut through the cliches, and work out what really matters.

In this episode, we're talking about cheap food. Britain has some of the cheapest food in the world, but while farmers are being squeezed, too many people can't afford a healthy diet. How can growing food become more profitable while ensuring everyone can eat well?
