Agri Food Exports, Store Lamb and Fertility: Country Life presented by Keith Fahy discusses the issues and concerns of the rural and agricultural community of County Galway.
On this week's episode of Country Life, Keith spoke to John Kelly, Waters of Life EIP, Lorcan Roche Kelly, Irish Farmers Journal, about Agri Food Exports hitting a record high for June and Leo Forkan, Mayo Health Care, about Store Lamb and Fertility. Keith also covered community news and mart reports.
Farming in Ireland is undergoing a quiet but significant revolution, and nowhere is this felt more strongly than in rural communities such as Galway. From changing weather patterns and the impact of climate change, to the pressures of EU agricultural policies and the constant need to adapt in order to survive, Irish farmers are facing some of the greatest challenges in living memory. These challenges also bring opportunities for innovation, sustainability, and new ways of working the land, but the path forward is far from simple.
Country Life is a programme dedicated to giving a voice to those at the heart of this transformation. Each week it shares the stories and perspectives of farmers, food producers, fishermen, and rural workers, along with their representative organisations, agricultural advisors, and industry journalists. By doing so, it highlights not only the struggles but also the resilience and creativity within this vital sector.
Listeners can expect lively discussions, insightful interviews, and up-to-date information that matters to rural Ireland. From mart reports and community news to special features on the future of food and farming, Country Life keeps its audience informed and connected.
Tune into Country Life every Tuesday from 7pm – 8pm for all of the latest community news, mart reports, and much more!
