23/10/26 Wild fire summit, Farming for the Future award winner, picking plums by rowing boat
Following a year of devastating wildfires, there's a summit in London later today to prepare for a hotter drier future.
A wildfire summit is being held today in Westminster, bringing together government departments and agencies to work out plans to address future fires.
We announce the winner of the BBC Food and Farming Awards' Farming for the Future winner, Bronagh O’Kane.
And picking plums by rowing boat: the Tregothnan estate in Cornwall has a very unusual micro climate on the Fal estuary, allowing a rare variety of plum to grow. The Kea plum is small and similar to a damson and very unusually grows so close to the waterside that some trees are harvested from the water.
Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
