122 food and drink companies and 55,000 Irish farms back Bord Bia’s 800 ‘green goals’

Ireland’s agri-food industry has set itself 800 green targets in a bid to underpin its ‘green’ image in the eyes of global consumers.

Bord Bia says that since it launched Origin Green, more than 55,000 Irish farms and 122 food and drink companies have signed up to the sustainability programme.

These farms account for 90% of Ireland’s beef production and half of its milk output, while the companies are responsible for 85% of Irish food and drink exports.
