All eyes are on Pembrokeshire as the preparations for the Welsh Assembly government's planned badger cull are underway - we look at the campaign to eradicate bovine TB in cattle.

Bluebells are brilliant at the moment, but they are protected by law. We meet Vera Thoss, a lecturer in Chemistry at Bangor University who holds the only license in Wales to cultivate them.

Brewing in the Gwaun - when Len Davies bought a livestock farm in a region of Wales celebrated for home-brew, he embraced the local tradition of beer making. 11 years on and he's turned his hobby into a commercial enterprise.

Food in the City - food production is considered to be a rural activity but does this ignore the contribution urban agriculture can make?

And the humble Welsh cottage - can we prevents it from disappearing from our countryside ?
