Liz Truss, 3D cow scanning, sling shot farm

Secretary of state for the environment Liz Truss says supermarkets need to label their dairy products more effectively so that consumers know whether they are buying British.

As farming ministers from across the UK meet in an emergency summit, secretary of State Liz Truss tells farming Today that supermarkets need to label their dairy products more effectively so that consumers know whether they are buying British or not.
The dairy industry is changing as is the technology which accompanies it. Sarah Swadling looks in to some 3-D research being carried out by Kingshay Dairy and robotics engineers from the University of the West of England. It means more accurate figures for larger herds of cows.
All this week Farming Today is looking at Agri-tourism. Nancy Nicholson visits a farm in the Solway Firth in Dumfries and Galloway to meet a farmer who has diversified in to hair raising tourism for adrenaline junkies - the human slingshot. Presenter Sybil Ruscoe. Producer Ruth Sanderson.
