Introducing the Food Enterprise Park, with Clarke Willis MBE - FULL VERSION

The agri-food sector is worth an estimated £110 BILLION, yet so much added value earns money outside our region for processors based in other parts of our country or overseas.  
To change this, the vision of a Food Enterprise Park at Honingham is now a reality.  
We join agri-futurist extraordinaire, Clarke Willis MBE, who takes us on a tour of the Food Enterprise Park and shares his encyclopaedic knowledge of the sector.
This is the full version of the interview.  A shorter version is included in the omnibus edition (episode 39).
