The government has designated 23 new Marine Conservation Zones. But will they work? We hear from marine conservation expert Professor Callum Roberts and the fisheries minister, George Eustice.
Anna Hill finds out about a farming app which predicts what will happen in individual fields, based on information that's put in by the farmer combined with local weather predictions. The idea is that it can then give farmers an early assessment of how crops might get on.
The Rare Breeds Survival Trust has started raising funds to gather Golden Guernsey and Bagot goat embryos, to protect these native British breeds.
Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
