A stronger vision for farming and more money - that's the call from the Wildlife Trusts in a new report which makes the case for investment in nature to protect the UK's food security. It says that at a time when climate change impacts are starting to bite, the restoration of nature is critical to feeding the country.

Mike Wilkins is an arable farmer from Wiltshire - and was also a contestant on the latest season of The Great British Bake Off. We've been to meet him and try one of his latest bakes.
