Barley is by far Scotland's most important crop, and the world's fourth most important cereal crop.

Anna hears about Dundee's new International Barley Hub, a centre for research excellence within the James Hutton Institute.

We also meet Alison Milne who grows and malts barley at Crafty Maltsters in Auchtermuchty, and Professor Wendy Russell at the University of Aberdeen's Rowett Institute.
