Later today MEPs will vote on a proposal that calls for legislation to make it compulsory to show where the meat in processed food comes from.

A report out today indicates there are now more varieties of bees in urban areas than in farmland. The study published by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council shows that there are similar numbers of bees in both settings. Whilst the UK bee population is known to be in overall decline, the effects of urbanisation on pollinating insects isn't clear. We hear from the lead researcher, Dr Katherine Baldock of the University of Bristol.

The National Farmers Union of Scotland has a new President. Allan Bowie, a cereal and beef farmer from North Fife, tells us his priorities for the year ahead.
