A new report commissioned by the Scottish government says fundamental change is needed to ensure Scottish women in farming are valued, but Gemma Cooper from the National Farmers Union in Scotland tells Charlotte Smith that despite having no women in any of the twenty-three senior roles in the Union they are already well-ahead of the curve. It's manifesto week on Farming Today and to start, Theresa Villiers shares the Conservatives' plan for farming and the rural economy with Caz Graham. Marina Gibson is a fly fishing enthusiast and instructor with a large following on social media. She tells Adam Paylor about some of the discrimination she's faced, and why she thinks more people should try fishing. Presenter: Charlotte Smith Producer: Toby Field
