The move to build battery storage sites on farmland is increasing: it can be a money-spinner for the landowner and can play an important role in the transition to a low carbon energy system, storing green energy collected through wind or solar power generation. But there are concerns at the lack of specific health and safety standards for the sector.
We're looking at farmers' welbeing this week. Today, a virtual reality headset is being shown at the Royal Welsh Show. It's the latest offering from a farmers' mental health charity, and allows farmers to try out various therapies in a calm and safe space.
And Natural Resources Wales is offering cash incentives to encourage more farmers to recycle their farm waste, to reduce pollution.
Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Sally Challoner.
