Agri Aware encourages primary school pupils to ‘Dig In’ to farm life

Primary level students are invited to learn about life on the farm as part of the new “Dig In” initiative from Agri Aware.

The group’s new curriculum-linked educational resource will also enable primary schoolgoers to learn about the countryside and the importance of the Irish agri-food industry in delivering safe, quality and traceable food that is affordable and of the highest standard.

Agriculture Minister of State Tom Hayes said: “I would encourage all teachers to cover the lesson plans on farm safety contained in ‘Dig In’. It is important that all children are made aware of the dangers present on farms.
