May 25, 2020 RHASS 3: Home schooling with RHET
Anna speaks with Katrina Barclay from the Royal Highland Education Trust. Since the start of COVID-19, RHET's work has quickly adapted, to focus on supporting parents, families and teachers to deliver lockdown home-schooling. But while the delivery method has changed, the charity's purpose is just as it has been for over 20 years: to help children and young people in Scotland to understand where the food on their plate comes from, as well as the importance of healthy eating.
=====================
RHET is the education charity of the Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland, who are OnFARM's partners in producing this summer series of podcasts. Please get in touch if you'd like to feature in future episodes. Please tweet @On_FARMUK.

May 18, 2020 RHASS 2: Meet You In the Usual Place
For many, the Royal Highland Show is their one big chance each year to get together with friends, and to re-connect with people they don't otherwise manage to see. This time, OnFARM is exploring the importance of those 4 summer days at Ingliston for social connection and mental wellbeing. Anna is joined by Nina Clancy from RSABI, and Professor Sarah Skerratt, who has done lots of academic research on mental health in rural communities. This is episode 2 of an OnFARM series in partnership with the Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland (RHASS).
=================================
Please get in touch if you'd like to feature in future episodes. Are you using RHET online resources to help with your family's home-schooling under lockdown? We are also looking for stories of rural or farm-based businesses who have adapted to Coronavirus. We'd love to hear from you. Please tweet @On_FARMUK.

May 11, 2020 RHASS 1: The Difficult Decision to Cancel
Have you got a Highland Show-shaped gap in your life? This summer, OnFARM are teaming up with the Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland (RHASS) to bring you a celebration of rural Scotland, and all that we'll miss now that the show is sadly cancelled. In weeks to come, we'll hear from regular visitors, businesses, competitors, and many others. But in this first episode in the series, chairman Bill Gray and chief executive Alan Laidlaw re-live the difficult decision to cancel this year's Highland Show.
=================================
We want your stories for future episodes. Do you have a special memory of the Highland Show, or a particular friend you'll miss seeing this year because you only meet once a year at Ingliston? We are also looking for inspiring stories of rural communities and businesses who have adapted to life under Coronavirus lockdown. Please tweet @On_FARMUK. We'd love to hear from you.

May 04, 2020 Soya and palm oil-free animal feed from Norvite (repeat)
Much livestock feed is made with imported soya and palm oil. These ingredients, usually sourced from South America and countries like Indonesia, are blamed for rainforest deforestation and the destruction of orangutan habitat. Aberdeenshire feed producer Norvite have developed an exciting alternative livestock feed product called NEOLac. It is proven to be just as protein-rich as other brands, but is primarily made from locally-sourced and sustainable rapeseed oil. For this repeated edition of OnFARM, Anna visits Norvite manufacturing plant to meet company MD Ed Smith. Together, they also visit Bruce Mackie at Middleton of Rora, a dairy farm where successful trials of NEOLac have taken place.
