11/09/21 - Farming Today This Week: fisheries funding, livestock breeding, alternative fuels
Caz Grahams hears about innovations in fishing - from more sustainable gear to robotic fish processing units.
The Government is announcing 拢24 million will be spent on research to improve the productivity and sustainability of the fishing industry. It's part of the 拢100 million UK鈥疭eafood Fund which was announced at the start of the year to support the fishing industry post Brexit. Caz Graham speaks to one of the scientists who will get part of the money about what the future of fishing holds - from more sustainable gear to robotic fish processing units.
After the cancellation of so many agricultural shows over the last 18 months, Caz Graham visits Westmorland County Show to talk about the latest trends in livestock breeding.
And as E10 petrol is introduced to filling stations across Great Britain, we hear why it could be good news for farmers but is not without its pitfalls.
