What a wonderful week in Wexford! The Fleadh was a massive success and congrats to all who made it happen! I was a proud exhibitor in the Wexford Food Producer Network’s ‘Artisan Food Hall’ Can’t wait for 2025! (Pictured with my nephew here on the final day of the festival)

Highest numbers in 25 years. 233 territories recorded by the National Parks and Wildlife Service survey team An incredible effort gone in by everyone involved in saving these birds. Imma go lie down now. rte.ie/news/ireland/2…

Really looking forward to this spectacular event next week! Get yourself registered for this year’s ASAireland conference ☘️ It’s an event that is not to be missed!

Lovely day today to be purchasing some smashing sheep in North Tipp 😍 These ewe lambs are a cross between a pedigree Dutch Spotted ram and pedigree Blue Texel ewes. Looking forward to seeing them grow and breeding from them in the future!

Having delivered numerous Agribusiness and Policy lectures throughout my doctorate studies, I am thrilled to hear the news today that two students nominated me for a UCD School Ag & Food Teaching Award. These kind words are gratefully appreciated ☘️

What a spectacular event so far! The ASAireland Annual Conference takes place today in the Lyrath Kilkenny. There is a wonderful crowd here and incredible contributors. Alltech CEO Dr. Mark Lyons, Tirlán CEO Sean Molloy and Ian Lahiffe proving specifically insightful!

Great mix of colour, flowers and insect activity in my 2023 Multi Species Sward reseed ☘️ The sheep seem to love it so far! Side note: I’m still awaiting my MSS scheme payment

20 seconds from my sheep farming year #2024

I’m excited to share three videos with you all over the next three weeks. The clips are verbal explanations of my PhD thesis. I hope for the videos to be an effective tool whereby we can discuss farmer behaviour, personas, rational thinking and the reduction of GHG emissions.

In this video, I explain: • Farmer views to the reduction of on-farm GHG emissions in Ireland • How farmer personas can be developed with various multi-actors I will share research articles online with you all in the coming months. DMs welcome. Thank you, Úna.

Video 3 from my PhD ✅ Here, the focus is on the reasons for and against the uptake of GHG mitigating measures at farm-level. The importance of farmer context is highlighted. I will share research articles online with you all in the coming weeks/months. Thank you, Úna.

Concluding my series of PhD videos today with this final piece about solutions and recommendations for policy and extension. Farmer empowerment and recognition are crucial! 🌱 Thank you for tuning in. The clips were enjoyable to compile and a nice milestone to end my PhD with.

Look at that for a shower over bunclody 🌧️ #blackstairs
