A series of research seminars will begin tomorrow, Wednesday, September 25, at University College Dublin (UCD), as part of a joint programme between AgriLand and the university’s School of Agriculture and Food Science.

Commenting on the partnership, AgriLand’s managing director Cormac Farrelly said: “We are delighted to have been chosen to work with UCD on the seminar series.

“The calibre of the research and education provided by UCD is second to none and we look forward to strengthening our relationship further over the coming years,” he added.

Commencing tomorrow, Wednesday, at 1:00pm, the first seminar – ‘Harnessing bioactives from food waste’ – will be hosted by Dr. Nigel Brunton from the School of Agriculture and Food Science.
