Farmers need to take action now if agriculture in the UK is to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. That's according to a report published today based on new research from University College London. Caz Graham finds out more. All this week we've been marking the first 100 days since the end of the Brexit transition period and today Bob Walker catches up with a cheese producer to find out how his business has been impacted. Cattle were involved in more than a quarter of deaths on farms in Northern Ireland over the last 20 years, and in a bid to improve health and safety on livestock farms a new project will analyse incidents of 'near misses' to try and improve understanding of the 'temper gene'.
