Cop29 must lead to investment in agriculture to meet the climate challenges - that's the National Farmers Union's call to delegates at the meeting. This is the 29th COP - Conference of the Parties to the UN Convention on Climate Change - being held this time in Azerbaijan. Governments, businesses and NGOs will all be represented.
This week we're looking at Scottish agriculture policy. Agriculture is devolved, so now that we've left the EU the 4 nations of the UK are developing their own policies - four different strategies being introduced at four different speeds. Under the old EU system farmers received direct payments based on the amount of land they had - with a percentage being awarded for any environmental work - things like improving soil and planting hedges. In England, farmers will only get money based on this environmental work. Wales and Northern Ireland are still designing new systems.
In Scotland, where much of the land is difficult to farm, direct payments will continue, though with tougher conditions attached.
We visit the Channel Island of Sark, where they're looking for a new dairy farmer to take over. With a population of fewer than 600 people, and just 15 dairy cows, it's an unusual role.
