New Rules for Fish Farms, A Floating Dairy Farm and More land for British vineyards.

The Scottish Environment Protection Agency wants salmon farms to reduce the amount of pollution from fish farms which it says damages the marine environment.

Some Scottish salmon farms could close because of tough new rules being proposed by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency. After conducting a major study, Sepa wants to reduce the amount of liquid medicines, animal waste and uneaten food from fish farms which it says damage the marine environment. But will it be enough for environmental campaigners?

Charlotte Smith speaks to a pioneering farmer in the Netherlands...who's building a floating dairy farm! We hear about the Cornish fishermen who risked their lives during the First World War, searching at sea for explosives laid in British shipping lanes.

And, new research suggests large areas of England and Wales could be suitable for growing vines...opening to the door for expansion of our homegrown wine industry.
