Description
The Defra Farming Podcast is produced by Defra’s Farming and Countryside team.
Each episode brings together farmers and people from across the sector to share real experiences, explore practical challenges, and talk about what government support and policy changes mean on the ground.
It’s a space for open conversations about farming in England, from innovation and environmental schemes to productivity, resilience and the future of food production.
The podcast is part of Defra’s commitment to open and transparent communication with the farming community.
