	Description:		British Farming needs to become ten times more efficient than it is now. Professor Ian Boyd, Chief Scientific Advisor to DEFRA, says technology can help transform agriculture - we may see crops grown indoors, in towns and cities, with virtually no people involved. A dairy farm in Northern Ireland has lost 157 cows due to botulism. Vets in Fermanagh believe they were poisoned when a silage was contaminated by a dead animal. Prawn fisherman Alistair Sinclair stands out among his fellow fishermen as he does not want to leave the EU. He's national co-ordinator of the Scottish Creel Fisherman's Association and wonders who'll buy his catch post Brexit. Presenter; Charlotte Smith Producer; Rebecca Rooney
