Daffodils and the Tannery

How daffodils could help cut methane emissions from livestock, and the tannery in Ceredigion hoping to revive the art of leather-making.

Dancing with Daffodils project - trials are to begin next month using an extract from daffodils, to feed to cows, with the aim of reducing livestock methane emissions and transform the efficiency and sustainability of ruminant farming.

We hear how the Chinese Mitten Crab has established itself in the Dee estuary and has now been confirmed in the Conwy estuary. The crab is one of a number of invasive non-native species (INNS) that are on the increase and pose a threat to biodiversity.

and at the Oak and Smoke Tannery in Ceredigion, we meet Jane Robertson who uses natural tanning methods to produce and craft traditional leatherwork.
