Looking back at the Conservative party conference: the new secretary of state says Defra is now an economic growth department, and the home secretary tells farmers they should work harder to find pickers. We find out what all that means for farmers and food supplies.

And how the dry weather means chips will be shorter.
Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
