More women pursuing farming careers: Teagasc

From two female students enrolled five years ago, the number of women choosing the level-5 Certificate in Agriculture has increased to 13 starting the Green Cert course earlier this month at the Teagasc Kildalton College in south Kilkenny, of a 127 total enrolled on this course (up 50% from last year).

The Teagasc Education Vision report highlighted the low rate of female graduates in further education on Teagasc programmes.
