Data is the key for farmers wanting to understand the impact their practices are having on the environment. Recent political shifts in terms of subsidies and tax breaks, make it hard for them to plan for the future and prioritise the environment. Does the supply chain need to do more to help? Making sense of sustainable farming is hosted by Tortoise editor Jeevan Vasager and produced by Eleanor Biggs. The executive producer is Jasper Corbett.  Making sense of sustainable farming is produced by Tortoise Media together with Lloyds Banking Group, who are the largest lender to agriculture in the UK, with over over 40,000 clients, providing significant funding to help businesses, including farms, transition to more sustainable practices.
