From roof to resource - The AG Show is teaming up with a project across nine farms in Cumbria that’s helping farmers kit out their buildings to collect and reuse rainwater. AHDB’s Beef and Lamb Engagement Manager for the North West, Karl Pendlebury, pops by to chat about what it’s all about.

Good job Karl’s on hand too, because Hannah’s attempts to join live from her parents’ calving shed are… well, let’s just say temperamental! Karl also talks about his role working directly with farmers - something our Chair, Emily Norton, recently dug into on the Meet the Farmers - The Big Debate podcast.

And Charlotte’s got the latest from the EU, where plant‑based foods might soon be banned from using labels like "fillet" or "bacon".
