Matt Baker and Margherita Taylor are in Herefordshire to explore some of the latest - and most surprising - innovations in agriculture.

Margherita discovers how robotic milking systems are transforming life for dairy farmers. She also joins a family using an ancient Japanese fermentation technique to supercharge manure, before meeting a strawberry grower crossing science with sweetness.

Matt meets a farmer trialling a fully autonomous robot that can plant, weed and remember where every seed was sown. Is this the future - does agri-tech deliver on its promises – and what is at stake if it doesn’t?

A former finance worker turned eco-inventor shows how she’s developed a natural, carbon-negative material that pulls harmful phosphates out of the water and puts them back to good use on the land.

Meanwhile, Adam sees how one potato and beet farm is using cutting-edge tech to save water, reduce inputs and keep food on our shelves – in the toughest of growing seasons.
