Elinor Goodman meets the Devon farmer who has decided to embrace the predictions of warmer and wetter summers by climate change experts to grow a diverse range of crops.

On Otter Farm, Mark Diacono grows guavas, grapes, olives, apricots, grinding pepper, kiwis and loquats. He believes that not only will growing more exotic foods be possile in the future, but by providing these crops from this country rather than abroad we will cut down on air miles.

Elinor finds out how he is getting on and tries to find some fruit to taste.
