More than 2,500 agricultural science students to get farm talks

MORE than 2,500 agricultural science students from almost 100 schools are attending a series of talks in Teagasc and private colleges across the country this week.

Agri Aware Farm Walk ‘n’ Talks are organised in association with the Irish Agricultural Science Teachers’ Association, Teagasc and University College Dublin.

The events are aimed at giving Leaving Certificate students an understanding of the practical element of agricultural science, which is challenging to communicate in class.
