Alltech Ireland will host a virtual Environmental Forum to discuss a more sustainable future for the Irish dairy industry.  

We know agriculture has the greatest potential to shape the future of our planet. In Ireland, we trust that by embracing innovation and improving farm management, our agriculture sector, particularly our dairy industry, can lead the way in enhancing agri-food sustainability.

These simple changes can also relay production profitability benefits to the industry. But how do we get there, and what are some of the stumbling blocks getting in the way? 

The Alltech Ireland Environmental Forum will investigate these questions, helping to clear the path toward Ireland’s sustainable agri-food future. 

The fully virtual gathering brings together international and domestic thought leaders in areas of dairy agriculture’s carbon and climate challenges, to inform and equip us in how to move forward in achieving Ireland’s greatest opportunity yet, its sustainability goals. 

This free event takes place on Wednesday, April 28, from 11.00a.m to 1.30p.m.  

Cathal McCormack, country manager with Alltech Ireland, will chair this session and lead the following discussions: 

Alltech president and CEO, Dr. Mark Lyons, will deliver the panel's closing address.

The title of this panel discussion is 'Envisioning the future: What needs to happen?' and will be chaired by Thomas Hubert, senior correspondent with The Currency.
