Pasture will be the focus of this podcast in the company of Cennydd Jones, lecturer in grassland management at Aberystwyth University and also a part-time farmer. Cennydd will be joined by Alan Lovatt a grass breeder throughout his career and now does consultancy work for Germinal which is based in Gogerddan near Aberystwyth.

With over 75% of the Welsh landscape being grassland of one kind or another, and considering that grassland is a vitally important part of the diet of cattle, sheep, horses and even goats and alpacas, It's undoubtedly a key part of the jigsaw when it comes to tackling climate change, feeding the population and increasing profits on our farms, and we will touch on all these important aspects during the next 20 minutes.
