A new report by UK scientists says that biomass, wood and crops, could be used to supply up to a fifth of global energy needs, without affecting food production. The UK Energy Research Centre and Imperial College London reviewed 90 studies worldwide. Brewing and distilling are worth 拢400 million to farmers who supply the raw materials: hops and barley. The National Farmers' Union is highlighting the importance of beer and pubs to the rural economy. And, continuing our celebration of the sheepdog, we meet the Huntaway; the rather noisy sheepdog from New Zealand which has gained something of a cult following among farmers here.
