Farming communities are struggling with their mental health and urgent action's needed to help them cope with the trauma of dealing with the aftermath of things like avian flu which has involved mass culls of birds. A report from the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee says farmers and vets are facing mental health trauma with little support.
All week we're focusing on growing under glass. With sky-high energy costs, some salad growers have stopped planting crops. One farmer in Scotland is heating his glasshouse using renewable energy, harvesting methane from slurry.
The Rare Breeds Survival Trust is marking its 50th birthday - we report from a special event in Penrith in Cumbria, where farmers, conservationists and chefs celebrate rare and native breed livestock.
