The National Potato Conference – organised by the Irish Farmers’ Association (IFA), Teagasc and Bórd Bia – will take place on Tuesday, February 18 at The Red Cow Moran Hotel in Dublin.

In what is a challenging time for the potato industry, top of the agenda at this year’s conference will be working without CIPC and diquat.

Aoife Hearne – who is a nutritionist on RTÉ‘s Operation Transformation – will talk about potatoes in our diets and more to the point in millennials’ diets.

Away from the conference, there will also be a trade show ongoing throughout the day.

The conference starts at 10:00am and a full agenda can be seen below.
