Euan investigates what has been causing some tractors and other farm machinery across Scotland to grind to a halt over the last few weeks.

Andrew Whitley has been involved in making bread since the 1970s. He鈥檚 a passionate advocate of using Scottish wheat not just to make bread but better connect people to the food they eat and cut down on food miles and our impact on the climate. Mark takes a tour of his mill at the Bowhouse on Balcaskie Estate and finds out more about Andrew and the collaborative project, Scotland the Bread.

Euan catches up with Nina Clancy from The Royal Scottish Agricultural Benevolent Institution to find out whether farmers are listening to advice about mental health and embracing the help that is available.

While Mark was at Balcaskie Mill he also met Rosie Gray, organiser of a recent Common Grains event. Rosie explains the concept behind the event which brought together farmers, millers, bakers, brewers and scientists to look ahead to the future of grains in Scotland.

The annual RSPB Nature of Scotland awards were heard earlier this week in Edinburgh. While he was there Euan heard from Scottish Natural Heritage Chief Executive Francesca Osowska about a report SNH has complied looking at the value of nature.

The idea of eating insects is perhaps not very appealing but as we look at reducing our carbon footprint they may well become a very important protein source for people and animals. Mark visits Betabugs, a company investing in breeding bugs as a food source.

Mark and Euan hear about the Cairngorm Snowsports Festival which kicks off this weekend.

Mark visits Argaty Red Kites near Doune where they are making hedgehog boxes and Mark hears how the kites have taken over an osprey platform.

And Euan chats to wildlife film maker Gordon Buchanan about his passion for the outdoors.
