We try to find out by asking the head of agriculture at Natural England, the government's landscape agency.
We know agriculture is part of the problem when it comes to climate change – but how can farmers ensure it is part of the solution too?
What options are there for farmers how do we make agriculture fairer, more equitable and more inviting for women.

Oxford University professor Sir Charles Godfray shares his thoughts on how UK farmers can reduce emissions while remaining profitable.
And King Charles uses his 75th birthday to launch the Coronation Food Project to reduce food waste and help tackle food poverty.
