皇家华人made the complaint after the programme was broadcast in November 2019 and escalated it to Ofcom when the BBC failed to provide a timely response.
NFU President Minette Batters said: 鈥淭oday鈥檚 result, while a long time coming, provides true vindication on the points we made about what we believed to be lack of impartiality in this programme.
"British farmers are rightly proud of the work they do to rear quality livestock and care for the environment, and they were angry and hurt by the false impression of UK livestock farming the programme created for the viewer at home.
鈥淚n Britain we have some of the most climate-friendly systems of food production in the world. Emissions from UK beef production are already half that of the global average and our farmers are working to become net zero by 2040.
鈥淯K grass-based systems are incomparable with the intensive feedlot style systems shown on the programme, and it is fantastic to see that being recognised today.鈥�
鈥淭oday鈥檚 result, while a long time coming, provides true vindication on the points we made about what we believed to be lack of impartiality in this programme."

What was the BBC ruling?
NFU then-director of communications Fran Barnes said: 鈥淚t was clear when the programme was broadcast that it fell short of the BBC鈥檚 guidelines concerning impartiality. We believed at the time that the programme was created to push a specific viewpoint.
鈥淚t has also been incredibly frustrating that it has taken 10 months for the BBC to acknowledge this and to apologise, and that we have had to escalate this complaint to Ofcom in the absence of a timely response from the BBC.
鈥淲hile we acknowledge the apology, we would like the BBC to go further and commit to redressing the balance in future programming to ensure this doesn鈥檛 happen again.
鈥淎ll farmers want is fair coverage of food and farming and an end to the demonisation of some sectors of productive agriculture, particularly livestock.鈥�
