	Description:		The pandemic has led to increased levels of stress, anxiety, depression, and suicidal feelings among the UK’s farming population - and the Government must take urgent action to improve rural mental heath services. That’s the finding of a report out today from Cranfield, Exeter, Reading and Sheffield Universities…which says some primary mental-healthcare services can be inaccessible and inadequately suited to rural areas. We visit a stunning and slaughter facility for farmed salmon and hear calls for the technology to be used for wild caught fish too. Presented by Caz Graham Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Heather Simons
