On this programme, we have a panel of experts to discuss the recently passed law on farmland protection on the mainland. It comes as the nation intensifies efforts to ensure food security amid climate change and geopolitical tensions.

After the break, we chat with a marine expert after a swarm of red stingrays was spotted in Tai Po last week, prompting residents to watch and try to catch them.

And to wrap up the show, we look into a Chinese University's study on a soil bacteria that could rewrite evolutionary biology to pave way for developing natural biofertilizers.
