Teagasc Agriculture & Food 06 - on the Web

Agriculture and Food 06, the major Teagasc event of the year held in Kildalton earlier this summer, continues to generate plenty of interest.

To meet the requests for more information on the exhibits seen on the day, Teagasc has decided to publish this material on its website at www.teagasc.ie.

Teagasc staff nationwide report continued interest in the exhibits on display, especially those on renewable energy, dairying, buildings, machinery and rural development.

To meet this demand, Teagasc has devoted a special area of its public website www.teagasc.ie to allow people view the presentations which were on display at the event. There is also a picture gallery, and a section giving results of the competitions held, which will be of interest to visitors and those who missed the event.

Jim O Mahony, Teagasc Crops Programme Manager said: "The event was a major success for Teagasc and sign-posted positive options for farmers and rural dwellers for the future. The booklet "Agriculture & Food 06 - Options for the Future" is also available on the website."
