Description

Want to learn more about the world around you? How the interconnected nature of agriculture, the economy, the natural world, our food and our environment all works together? Scotland's Rural College are the experts on the natural economy. Whether it is local or global, small scale or industrial production, business or education - we are across all the factors relating to how our relationship with land, sea and air is effecting the world now and into the future. We are equipping the next generation of not just farmers and land managers, but scientists, vets, researchers, animal care professionals and much more besides. On this podcast you'll hear everything from conversations with our people to exciting announcements regarding key projects. Most importantly you will learn about the unique offering SRUC has, and how it is central to a sustainable natural economy.
