Agri Aware is delighted to announce its inaugural industry focused ‘Food for Thought Industry Briefing’ event set to take place next week in county Kildare.
The event will hear from prominent figures in the agricultural sector both nationally and internationally on key topics dominating the headlines in the media across the agricultural sector.
Taking place at the Osprey Hotel in Naas on Thursday, January 15, this event will hear from experts including keynote speaker Tadhg Buckley of the Irish Farmers Association, Ksenija Simovic of COPA-COGEGA, Kevin Maher of Dairy Sustainability Ireland and Phelim O'Neill of the Irish Farmers Journal.
Key topics to be discussed on the day include the Mercosur Trade Deal, the Nitrates Derogation and the Common Agricultural Policy, all of which have, and continue to be prominent in the media.
Speaking ahead of the event was Agri Aware Executive Director Marcus O’Halloran who said: “Next week’s industry event is an exciting and important opportunity to bring industry together to hear the latest insights on the policies, trade shifts and environmental priorities shaping the Irish agri-food sector today.
“Not only is it an opportunity to become more aware of the challenges facing the sector, but it also provides a networking opportunity for industry, something that Agri Aware has been keen to provide.
“We are starting 2026 as a means to go on, with this event not only bringing industry together but also strengthening the sector’s standing in the eyes of consumers as we continue our mission of enhancing agricultural literacy.”
