17/08/20 Fears over Scottish environment post-Brexit, city farms, non-farming jobs that help farmers

Charities warn UK internal market will put environment at risk.
City farms welcome back visitors but count the cost of C19.
Careers in agriculture - that don't involve farming.

Scottish Environment LINK, a coalition of charities, warns that plans for a UK internal market post-Brexit could lead to a race to the bottom and drag down environmental standards.

City farms face an uncertain future as the pandemic hits their income. We visit Stonebridge City Farm in the centre of Nottingham to find out how they're managing as they welcome back visitors but deal with big financial losses.

For every farm, there's a network of people who work with producers but aren't farmers. We speak to Dr David Rose, an expert in agricultural innovation about jobs in the farming world.
