Sustainability recognised at the 2015 Bord Bia Food and Drink Awards

Sustainability, a key factor in driving the reputation of Ireland’s food, drink, and horticulture industry and delivering a market preference for its products, was given a double recognition at the 2015 Bord Bia Food and Drink Awards.

The term can be defined as a way of growing or raising food, including animals, in an ecologically and ethically responsible manner, using practices that protect the environment, safeguard human health, are humane to farm animals and provide fair treatment to workers.

Origin Green is the national sustainability development programme developed by Bord Bia to internationally demonstrate the commitment of Irish food and drink producers to operating sustainably.
