23/06/25: Ag graduates, sustainable livestock, Scottish meat

Agricultural graduates, sustainable livestock trial, Scottish meat.

We look at what the prospects are for modern agriculture students, and what they're studying - from land management and vet science to AI and robotics.
The Scottish Association of Meat Wholesalers says the Scottish government should be doing more to help the sector recover from falling cattle numbers. Meat imports are putting pressure on farmers. But the government says it is committed to keeping numbers up while working to keep emissions down.
And we hear about a trial to find ways of making livestock production more environmentally friendly.

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Sally Challoner.
