Spring is on the way, and in Llanteg on the Pembrokeshire border, daffodils are taking centre stage. At Greenacre Market Garden, Sola Romer explains how Wales’ national flower has become a key part of the business at this busy time of year. Artificial intelligence might feel a long way from hedgerows and lambing sheds, but it is increasingly part of rural life. Rhodri Davies speaks to Dr Gwenllian Rees of the British Veterinary Association about how AI is being used in farm veterinary work, from monitoring livestock health to supporting diagnosis. In the Powys countryside, Megan Williams explores how AI-powered technology is helping conservationists detect the call of the curlew, one of Wales’ fastest declining bird species, offering fresh hope for its protection.
