Agri Aware competition set to put role of family farming in the frame

Agri Aware is hosting an art and photo competition to celebrate the UN’s 2014 International Year of Family Farming.

With almost 140,000 family farms in Ireland, Agri Aware wants primary school students to sketch, draw or paint a picture of what family farming means to them.

The Irish agri-food educational body also wants second level students to get out their phones or cameras and take a photograph that sums up the importance of family farming.
