À propos de ce contenu audio

AHDB's Charlotte Forkes-Rees, Hannah Clarke and Tom Spencer examine the stories behind the numbers from the world of agriculture. As agri-food markets become more uncertain, driven by changing weather, geopolitics, energy costs and changing consumer demands, the team are joined by colleagues to track the latest trends and explain what it all means for our levy payer businesses. And what impact it has on consumers. Each week the trio throw the spotlight on at least one sector, with the focus shared between arable, dairy, pork, beef and lamb as well as the wider farming industry. These sectors are ruled by the forces of economics and supply and demand which is why this podcast combines AGriculture and ecONOMICS. Given commodity markets, their multi-annual cycles and key inputs continue to evolve, the hosts draw on their extensive expertise to offer insight to help farmers and supply chains alike navigate the volatility and capitalise on opportunities.

  • Milk championed by student athletes, Let's Eat Balanced continues and the 200-acre gamble
    May 13 2026

    The AG Show is hitting its half-year mark, and we’re kicking things off with the BUCS Super Rugby Milk Championships - where student athletes are getting a proper look at why dairy still earns its place on the team sheet. Turns out, milk’s doing a lot more than just filling your tea mug.

    We also break down what an Advertising Standards Authority ruling means for AHDB’s Let’s Eat Balanced campaign - and why it’s sticking around.

    And we’re back with part two of our chat with Cornish beef and sheep farmer Will Whiting, as he shares what it’s really been like taking on the 200-acre farm next door. Missed the first half? Go and catch up in the revious episode - trust us, it’s worth it.

  • Would you buy the farm next door? Plus, African swine fever contingency and sweet potato imports
    May 6 2026

    It’s a 200‑acre leap of faith for one of our guests on this episode of The AG Show, after they took the plunge and snapped up the neighbouring land and buildings. Cornish sheep and beef farmer Will Whiting joins us to talk about what tipped him over the edge - and how a friendly wager with fellow YouTuber Cammy Wilson is spurring him on.

    We also dig into how pig producers, vets, processors and everyone in between can get the most out of AHDB’s Workshop in a Box – a handy digital toolkit designed to help build a solid African swine fever contingency plan.

    Plus, why does the UK look so tempting to sweet potato growers over in North Carolina, USA? And is there anything British exporters could nick from their playbook?

  • Farming and rewilding - a tale of two ecosystems! Plus, the Pork Environmental Roadmap
    Apr 29 2026

    The AG Show team catch up with filmmaker James Dawson and one of the two farmers at the heart of his new film, Derek vs Derek. The documentary looks at what happens when two very different approaches to managing land meet - quite literally - on opposite sides of a Devon lane.

    James asks a simple but provocative question: What’s it like living next door to Britain’s most notorious rewilder? We hear from Derek Banbury, a dairy and beef farmer who’s had a front‑row seat to watching his neighbour, former sheep farmer Derek Gow, drastically change how his land is used by reintroducing endangered species as part of a major conservation project.

    The team also get into the Pork Environmental Roadmap, breaking down what it means and how it sets out a shared, evidence‑based plan to help drive environmental progress across the pork industry.
