The Fed made a number of moves in 2022, taking rates from 0% to 4.5% including a rise in rates in December. When will the Fed change course? Has the Fed been effective in fighting inflation, and what does it mean if they fail to get it under control? How has inflation affected farmers in the current market? How would persistent inflation affect the U.S. Farmer? What are other extraneous factors could come into play for the U.S. farmer in the years to come?

This year has been an eventful year for the environment. The effects of the pandemic are still being felt worldwide and we have witnessed unprecedented weather events. The latest IPCC report warned of a “code red” for humanity, stating that global warming was affecting all regions across the globe.  In November, world leaders attended the environmental summit COP26 in Glasgow, to discuss ways they could reduce their emissions.   At the same time, in the UK, the Environment Bill was given Royal Assent and it has been hailed as a major environmental milestone.   In this last episode of 2021, we discuss with our guest, Dame Glenys Stacy, the positive strides made at COP26, the need for greater ambitions and the importance of following through those agreements.   We also discuss what the new Environment Act will mean for businesses with the implementation of regulations for certain industries. We talk about the future role of the Office of Environmental Protection (OEP) and how it will interact with other agencies.  To know more about the work IEMA does to transform the world to sustainability please visit our website: https://www.iema.net/ 

There was public outcry when MPs voted against stricter penalties for water companies dumping raw sewage into England's rivers. But following a U-turn, the Government has now passed a new Environment Bill it says will reduce the amount of raw sewage polluting our waterways.

NHS moves one step closer to a strike over pay: Union will ballot medics about taking industrial action over 'insulting' 3% salary hike as health staff demand FIVE TIMES more......comment.... 'I worked in a supermarket throughout the pandemic. My payrise was 0.3 percent. No final salary scheme, no free take aways, no NHS discounts and no free food parcels. NHS is fast becoming a bottomless pit of selfishness'. Boris Johnson has been accused of having 'completely lost the plastic plot' after telling schoolchildren that recycling 'doesn't work' as a means to ease the climate crisis....... ....................Environmental campaigners have said it 'beggars belief' that MPs voted against amending a bill to stop water companies dumping raw sewage into Britain's rivers amid concerns for swimmers on coasts.

A police officer who left a man's face covered in blood after he stamped him to the ground during an arrest has been cleared of any wrongdoing. A father-of-two GP blamed a 'stressful day at work' for drinking vodka and crashing into a traffic island in Wales during a 20-mile journey home from his surgery while more than twice the drink drive limit. Asylum-seekers who posed as children won a High Court battle with a council for leaving them in adult accommodation - despite them both now being ruled as being over 24.

As MPs throw out Lords' amendments to the Environment Bill and the Government's Net Zero Strategy looks thin on farming content, we ask will agriculture get the attention it deserves at COP26. We're talking apples all this week and today we hear from a farmer who's turned to family, friends and Facebook this year to find pickers, and hear how growers store their fruit, chilled for up to a year. Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

Over the summer it's been tempting to think that the pandemic is almost over. But last night, Health Secretary Savid Javid insisted that "life is not back to normal". 49,000 people tested positive for Covid-19 yesterday - levels we haven't seen since the end of last year - and he warned that they could hit 100,000 a day over winter. But despite all this, the government has decided not to implement its so-called Plan B - which would include mandatory mask wearing, working from home and vaccine passports. Instead its encouraging people to get their booster jabs, and advising people to make their own decisions on mask wearing and socialising more outside. But will the public, who've already seen one Christmas fall into oblivion, be willing to change their behaviour for a second winter? Campaigner Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah is raising awareness of asthma and the health problems that can be caused by air pollution. Last year her daughter, Ella, became the first person in Britain to have air pollution listed as the cause of death after an inquest. She died in 2013 aged nine. Now Rosamund is calling on Boris Johnson to “set an example for the whole world” with ambitious clear air goals. The Environment Bill was debated in the House of Commons yesterday (Wednesday). Rosamund discusses her work and the changes she wants to see. Lockdowns and working from home have changed how we dress but 'fat people don't have the luxury of wearing the dressed down look'. That's according to the activist and stand-up comedian Sofie Hagen who says that society dictates that people who are over-weight have to look like they are trying. She and Emma discuss the pressures she believes exist. Mortality rates remain exceptionally high for babies from ethnically diverse backgrounds despite overall rates of stillbirth and neonatal death rates having fallen. Neonatal death rates are 73% higher than those living in the least deprived areas. With Asian babies 60% higher than white babies, and 43% greater for babies of Black ethnicity. Emma is joined by Clea Harmer, Chief Executive of SANDS, and Professor of Perinatal & Paediatric Epidemiology, Elizabeth Draper part of the MBRRACE team who collect and analyse the numbers and rates of baby deaths in the UK. After undergoing vocal chord surgery, MOBO and Brit award-winning singer songwriter Ella Eyre is back on her first headline tour in six years. She reveals how she's had to learn how to sing again - and how the experience has inspired a new musical direction.

Large-scale investment companies have been buying farms across Wales for afforestation - planting trees to offset carbon emissions. But there are concerns it could damage local culture, language and heritage, and there's a call for Welsh Government to urgently review its forestry policy. The government has launched a consultation on its Local Nature Recovery Strategies, which is part of the new Environment Bill. Caz Graham asks Richard Benwell of Wildlife and Countryside Link about the process and what he'd like to see it achieve. For forestry week Caz has been to an estate near Penrith in Cumbria which produces commercial timber. She meets Jackie Dunne who gives her a tour and together they stumble upon a red squirrel dinner table! Presenter: Caz Graham Producer in Bristol: Toby Field

Hot Topics Under UK Environmental Laws – An Interview With Burges Salmon Environmental Partner Michael Barlow In this episode, Andy Kolesar of Thompson Hine is joined by Michael Barlow of Burges Salmon LLP for a discussion of hot topics under UK environmental laws. Mike is the head of Burges Salmon's energy and utilities sector group and leads the firm's water team. He provides his insights on post-Brexit environmental laws, including “UK REACH”; the status of the deliberations over the Environment Bill; enforcement trends; climate change and “net zero” objectives; and ESG initiatives. As Mike discusses in the podcast, it is “not business as usual” in the UK and it is important to follow closely the post-Brexit legal developments.

Ep 13. AJ Climate Champions with Hattie Hartman. In our continuing series on landscape and the biodiversity crisis, we speak to rewilding pioneer Isabella Tree of the Knepp Estate in West Sussex, hailed as ‘one of the most exciting wildlife conservation projects in the UK.' The conservationist and author explains why the proposed Buck Farm development – which goes before Horsham District Council this week – epitomises the current controversy between the upcoming Environment Bill and the government's intended planning reforms.

The UK Environment Bill aims to ensure that UK-based companies are transparent about their supply chains and their impact on deforestation and proposes fines for those who don't adhere.  What will this new legislation mean for food and drink brands, why is it important, and does it go far enough? Joining Table Talk this week to share their views are Sam Lawson, Founding Director, Earthsight, Alice Lucas, Advocacy and Policy Manager, Fairtrade Foundation and Robert Sheasby, Chief Executive, The Agricultural Industries Confederation. About our panel Sam Lawson, Founding Director, Earthsight Earthsight is a non-profit organisation committed to harnessing the power of primary investigative research and reporting to bring attention to pressing issues of human rights and environmental justice. We aim to get to the core of an issue, using a range of investigative research methods to obtain first-hand, documented evidence of crimes against both people and the planet which is irrefutable and impossible to ignore.

A new report from the French think-tank the IDDRI - which specialising in sustainability - finds transitioning to agroecological farming systems and local food supply chains would increase rural jobs, provide sustainable diets, and combat climate change. But how would that work in practise and would it mean increased food prices? The long-awaited Environment Bill is returning to the House of Commons after being delayed several times. The Bill includes new amendments to set and meet legally binding targets on species abundance by 2030. There will also be amendments to reduce the harm from storm overflows to rivers, waterways and coastlines and a plan will be published to reduce sewage discharges into rivers by September 2022, with progress having to be reported to Parliament. Pollinator strips on farmland could be helping bumblebees more than we thought. New research shows the nectar from some wildflowers contains caffeine, which helps protect bumblebees against disease. Anna Hill hears from a scientist who says wildflower mixes could be tailored to act as a natural pharmacy for the bumblebees in that area. And with many family days-out closed over lockdown last summer, farms offering Pick Your Own saw a big increase in footfall. But that can present new challenges! We visit a farm offering PYO asparagus and soft fruit in Surrey, which is now issuing guidelines to visitors on how to behave and has even been employing martials, to keep the crowds in check.

The world is facing a biodiversity crisis, but farmers can - and many want to - help. New UK legislation is set to open a new market and income opportunity for farmers and landowners through the delivery of Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG). When the Environment Bill passes through parliament later this year, it will require all developments to demonstrate a BNG of 10%. Thousands of hectares of land dedicated to biodiversity will be needed, which could mean a new income stream for farmers. Already, developers, land agents, charities, brokers and local authorities are preparing themselves and even entering agreements. So, how can farmers prepare for this new market opportunity? To find out more, Jez Fredenburgh is joined by Teresa Dent, chief exec of the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust, which has been working on biodiversity agreements with farmer clusters, and David Hill, founder of Environment Bank, a UK company which is at the forefront of biodiversity accounting and offsetting agreements.
