09/12/22 - Rural mental health services, animal welfare at slaughter, salmon stunning facilities

A new report finds farmers are suffering with increased levels of stress, anxiety, depression and suicidal feelings - and rural mental health services aren't up to scratch.

The pandemic has led to increased levels of stress, anxiety, depression, and suicidal feelings among the UK’s farming population - and the Government must take urgent action to improve rural mental heath services. That’s the finding of a report out today from Cranfield, Exeter, Reading and Sheffield Universities…which says some primary mental-healthcare services can be inaccessible and inadequately suited to rural areas.

We visit a stunning and slaughter facility for farmed salmon and hear calls for the technology to be used for wild caught fish too.
