National Organic Week brings lots of optimism

A BUSY National Organic Week has left the sector buzzing. Plenty of well attended events, some new research, promising policy developments and upcoming opportunities have emerged.

Early on in the week the Picnic in the Park in Portumna was a very positive event, attracting many in the in the Galway, north Tipperary, and West Offaly region, looking for an enjoyable day out.

It came across as a cross between an agricultural show and an eat-in for foodies, enjoyed by a not-so-alternative attendance.
