18/10/23 Shetland trawlers, digital agriculture, Syrian farmer in Northern Ireland

Trawler operators in Scotland say lives are being put at risk by dangerous behaviour at sea.

Fishers in Shetland are warning lives will be lost unless authorities crack down on the alleged dangerous behaviour of some foreign vessels in the area.

All week we're looking at agricultural education; while some students choose to go down the traditional route, others are opting to go high-tech - into what some might call "digital agriculture".

We hear how Syrian refugee, Wejdan Ghazal, has been growing her own fruit and veg, with the help of a community vegetable project, near Strangford in County Down.

Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
