Thinking Small for Big Change

Sarah Swadling finds out about a new venture in Somerset, where pig farmer Fred Price is hoping to change the way we think about our food by creating a 'small food economy'.

Fred Price rears pigs on his farm in Somerset. He has big plans to create a hub for what he's calling a "small food economy", which will put the focus on growing good food rather than producing profitable commodities. He's also keen to improve the soil and biodiversity of the farm, with 8% of the land now dedicated to managing habitat for beneficial insects. Sarah Swadling meets Fred and finds out how he hopes to change the way we think about our food.
