22/06/26 Agri-tourism, Scottish abattoir costs, seaweed cattle feed to reduce methane

Available for 29 days

Why more farmers are opening their gates to the public - all week we're looking at agri-tourism. Scientists across the world are investigating ways to reduce the climate change gas methane produced by livestock, using feed supplements made of synthetic chemicals, tannins, fats and even seaweed. Asparagopsis is a red seaweed that reacts with enzymes in the final stages of digestion and stops methane from being produced. The cost of abattoir inspections is proving contentious in Scotland where Food Standards Scotland is the body responsible for these. Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
