New Scientist Live, how to get into farming, flood recovery fund, abattoirs and bluetongue, latest harvest estimates, Cow Burp-o-meter & Vauxhall City Farm
UK agriculture faces a huge skills gap – with lots of opportunities for people wanting to work in the sector or start their own agri-business.
In this episode, we find out how UK farming is encouraging new entrants into the industry – and how to carve a career in agriculture.
We visit the New Scientist Live festival of ideas at London's ExCel centre, where food and farming innovation is centre stage in front of 25,000 visitors.
Agriculture is very much a Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) sector keen to attract more urban youngsters.
We look at opportunities around industry apprenticeships in agricultural engineering, plant science and livestock technology.
