Awards

The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on 13 November in Dublin’s Mansion House.

The main objective of this nationwide scheme is to help farmers recognise the cultural value of traditional farm buildings.

Teresa Roche is working on the ground to support issues affecting farm families through advocating for policy changes and promoting the importance of appreciating Irish produce, writes Sarah McIntosh.

When it comes to the annual food awards, it pays to take part, writes Janine Kennedy.

Sixteen finalists from across the country eagerly awaited the announcement of the winner at the Heritage Hotel, Co Laois, on Tuesday evening.

The annual awards programme, now in its 15th year, saw 11 farming families from six counties and 11 dairy co-operatives celebrated for their milk production and sustainable dairying.

The need for farmers & food producers to adapt and integrate digital solutions and sustainable practises has never been greater, and trailblazing Irish agritech innovators are rising to the challenge.
