Beef farmers planning to reseed in the coming weeks have a decision to make - stick with the tried and tested grass/white clover mixes or venture for something more novel in multi-species swards. https://t.co/td7F6N1tM6 @TeagascBeef

[Teagasc @teagasc]

Sarah Burke, Teagasc researcher is on this week’s episode of #TheBeefEdge podcast to discuss her latest research on grass-white clover and multi-species sward systems.

Fantastic visit to a Navan dairy farm this afternoon. The farm is also a @teagasc #signpostfarm . Really encouraging to hear about the #Sustainability journey the farm is on. Lots of brilliant questions from a well informed international audience! #LivestockAgenda #GASL

Feeding beer to algae, and then to cattle, may reduce methane emissions.
‘Beer creating oxygen and reducing methane emissions’ - interesting talk from Jacob Betros, Oceania region. @RoskamEmily take note 🤪🍻 #LivestockAgenda

[Brendan Horan @bhoranIRL]

In a world where >800 million people go to bed hungry nightly, where 2 in 5 kids born have arrested physical development due to inadequate nutrition and >3 billion people can’t afford a healthy balanced diet, we can be very proud of high quality low emissions food production.

[Aideen Burke @aideen_burke]

It’s a little frustrating to see @rtenews use a photo of a cow to headline their rise in emissions story and then go on to say that the rise is mainly down to energy industries @ 17.6% while agriculture is 3rd on the list @ 3% 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

[Martin Heydon @martinheydonfg]

The economic, social, and environmental sustainability of our farms are so closely interlinked ⛓️

Great to see a focus on all three today among farmers at BEEF 2022 in @teagasc Grange 🌱 @FineGael @Damien_English
