EXCITEMENT AS STUDENTS RETURN TO AGRI AWARE FARM WALK & TALK
The Agri Aware Farm Walk & Talk series has returned as a live in-person experience for the first time since 2019.
Farm Walk and Talk is an interactive series of events for second-level, agricultural science students throughout early March on ten research farms and agricultural colleges across the country including UCD Lyons Farm on March 15th.
While Farm Walk & Talk was a brilliant success in its virtual format in 2021, with over 18,000 students involved, everyone is excited to get back to a hands-on experience.
This year, all schools that attend the Farm Walk & Talk Events get access to a suite of educational videos from a variety of contributors alongside the comprehensive study notes.
All events are now BOOKED OUT. A virtual-only package where students can avail of the videos and notes if available from AgriAware.
The series of events is a longstanding collaboration between Agri Aware, Teagasc, UCD, the Irish Farmers Journal, and I.A.S.T.A.
Alan Jagoe, Agri Aware Chairman said: “Agriculture is hands-on and events like the Agri Aware Farm Walk and Talk provide thousands of students with an insight into the practicalities of farming and the hard work that farmers do each day.
“Farm Walk and Talk shows the students the theory of agricultural science in action. The students get a brilliant opportunity to see some of the best farming techniques and cutting-edge research up close.
“We hope those who take part will leave with a greater understanding of what a future in agriculture could be and how these students might shape it.”
