In this episode, we catch up with Professor John Gilliland about the QMS/AHDB about an Environmental Baselining programme based on the success of a similar scheme in Northern Ireland. This industry-led pilot aims to recruit 170 farmers and growers in Scotland and England to understand and improve their environmental performance. John explains the learnings from NI and the hopes for Scotland. 

Host Jane Craigie also catches up with QMS CEO, Sarah Millar, on the team's high-impact presence at the Highland Show, which included a three-way briefing from First Minister, John Swinney, Cabinet Secretary, Mairi Gougeon and Minister for Agriculture and Connectivity, Jim Fairlie, on the QMS stand. 

Jane also spoke to QMS's Iain Macdonald about the market outlook for red meat, and how the Scotch Premium works in practice.

We hope that you enjoy listening to this episode.
