Our team does what radio does best - using natural sound to bring stories alive.
And we have eye-catching web stories with video and great photos of the stories of the people we meet. You can find us on social media, the web, podcasts and, of course, radio.
Our producers are in the field getting the nitty gritty rural stories.
Country Life gets around the country. Our producers visit around 90 places a year.
We have been focusing recently on the future of farming and sustainability in the world of agriculture.
