School people get a taste for Agri Aware’s ‘Incredible Edibles’ final

PRIMARY school children countrywide began to harvest crops of Irish fruit and vegetables yesterday in the run-up to the final of Agri Aware’s Incredible Edibles growing challenge.

More than 100,000 participating pupils have documented their farming adventure in growing diaries. Their stories are told through photographs, written accounts and classroom activities based on the Irish crops they have been cultivating since February.

Agri Aware chairman Mairead Lavery wished the thousands of participating pupils the very best of luck as they embark on the final stage of their farming adventure. “There’s an ever increasing focus on growing your own and I have no doubts that these children will carry that important trend forward for the next generation.”
