Teagasc Major Event of the Year

Friday, 20 June 2008
Teagasc Athenry Centre

FarmFest ‘08 will display all aspects of Teagasc’s relationship with the countryside, farming and farm families. Taking place this year in the West of Ireland, this event will have something of interest for all members of the farm family, and will also be of interest to those living in the wider rural community.

Education will be a key aim of the day and will display the breadth of Teagasc’s services and the opportunities available to farmers and country dwellers. We will bring together the old and the new, demonstrating Teagasc’s innovative and contemporary approach while not dismissing the rural traditions people hold dear.

Teagasc FarmFest ‘08 will particularly focus on emerging areas such as:
* Food
* Sustainability
* Environment and REPS

All the main farm enterprises will be featured along with areas such as bioenergy, forestry, artisan foods, tourism, sports horses and organic farming. These displays will be in the form of a series of themed tented ‘villages’ with separate, but conveniently located, exhibition areas and entertainment.
