Summary

Ben visits James who's feeling down in the dumps about farming after the heatwave. They discuss why food production has become so high risk and the impact climate change is having on our ability to grow viable crops. But, ever the optimist - Ben believes that 'desperation leads to innovation' and profitability is not necessarily mutually exclusive from the environment. They also cover something that's often overlooked in farming - mental health.
