26/08/23 Farming Today This Week: The Countryside Code; sheep embryo exports; salads; bird species returns to Northern Ireland

The Countryside Code has been around for 70 years - how can it be better followed? Plus, a consignment of British sheep embryos was shipped to the US this week.

As farmers share how their crops have been destroyed by dogs and walkers, and livestock have been scared by joggers, just how can the Countryside Code be better followed, publicised and communicated?

A consignment of British sheep embryos was shipped to the US this week - it’s the first time embryos have been allowed to be exported to the States, following the lifting of a 33-year-long embargo on lamb and embryos from countries where livestock has been affected by BSE.

We explore the world of growing salad, from vertical farming baby leaf salad in a giant warehouse to growing microgreens in a home office.

And an endangered bird species returns to Northern Ireland for the first time in years.

Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Rhiannon Fitz-Gerald.
