NUTRI-CHECK NET was proud to be part of the Teagasc National Tillage Conference at Lyrath House Estate, Co. Kilkenny. The conference provided a valuable platform for industry experts to reflect on the year gone by and explore the latest research findings and outcomes in the field of tillage farming. Cathal Redmond, representing NUTRI-CHECK NET, attended the event and contributed to the ongoing dialogue surrounding key issues in Irish agriculture.
The conference covered a variety of important topics, including the role of peas and beans in Irish milling, the impact of water quality, the importance of cover crops, and the ongoing reduction of pesticide use across the Irish market. These discussions are essential as they address the challenges and opportunities for sustainable farming practices in Ireland, with a focus on the long-term health of both the land and the industry.
Another key focus was the intercropping of peas and beans, which offers a promising approach to improving crop resilience and soil health. The importance of sustainable crop production was a central theme, as the industry continues to look for innovative ways to balance productivity with environmental responsibility.
NUTRI-CHECK NET’s involvement in the conference highlights our commitment to supporting sustainable agriculture through research and collaboration.
