A global initiative is trying to get rid of 'ghost fishing gear' littering the sea beds.
A study shows that strawberries are bigger and better looking if they're pollinated by bees which have visited wild flowers on field margins, rather than those that have just visited crops.
More than three hundred vintage agricultural machines, including many tractors, went under the hammer at the weekend and sold at auction for more than one and a half million pounds.

Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
