More investment must go towards paying for solar and anaerobic digestion projects in farming rather than to “sexier” manufacturing industries such as car production, the shadow secretary of state for the environment, food and rural affairs has said.

This contrasted with comments by Sainsbury’s brand director Judith Batchelar, who said the supermarket would not be carbon labelling food.
