04/01/22 - Mental resilience in farming, mapping trees and donkey grazing
Charlotte Smith speaks to a farmer who supported her husband through depression and terminal cancer.
"He didn't believe in depression - he thought anyone that suffered with stress, anxiety or depression needed a good kick up the backside." We hear the story of a farmer who had to change his mind about depression when he was hit with it himself. Patrick Joice became severely depressed after getting a diagnosis of terminal cancer...but used his experience to raise awareness within the farming industry and support local charities.
A new app allows people to map individual trees - so what's the idea?
And could donkeys find a new role as conservation grazers?
