Synopsis

Episode image for 09/12/2009

Anna Hill tries to decipher a bit of jargon. PDOs, PGIs and TSGs are all labels used by farmers and food producers to prevent others imitating their product. The labels involve years of work, and thousands of pounds of investment. Anna finds out what the acronyms mean and why more British products aren't on the list.

Also the latest on the Farming Today bees as the amount of honey they've produced this year is totted up. Fellow beekeepers beware, the Farming Today bees have set a high target!
