03/02/22 Levelling up in rural areas, dairy exports, NI post-Brexit agri-trade

Fears that the government’s new levelling up ambitions seem more like levelling down when it comes to rural broadband.

The Government has published its long awaited levelling up strategy. But how much impact will it have in rural areas? The charity, Action with Communities in Rural England, says it’s far from clear whether the levelling up strategy will address what it calls 'the long standing disadvantage faced by rural communities'.

Two years on from Brexit we meet an agronomist and seed merchant in Northern Ireland who says his job has been made much more complicated since leaving the EU.

In Leicestershire the Exports Minister is at a meeting with farmers, urging them to make the most of new markets opening up since Brexit, especially in Asia.

Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
