Shortening the trip from the farmer to the consumer; this is the ideal farm-to-fork supply chain. Fresh milk straight from their on-farm vending machine in the north-east of Ireland. Well done lads, I've heard only great things! #PastureBased#Sustainable#Milk#CircularEconomy
Right folks, its been a long process as you can see from the clip but were finally there. We are opening friday morning at 10am. Whole milk fully pasteurized and non homogenized, available directly from our farm through a vending machine. Eircode is A91NAO2.
@TaeSavesLives Recently, the attitude has completely shifted though. A hell of a lot more students taking on Ag science. And a lot under the impression that it is a handy number for easy points. It's not long before they realise there's a lot more to it than "milking cows and driving tractors"
Can relate... Getting called a farmer in school was the biggest insult. Now I am delighted to have been brought up on a farm. It made me curious about everything! And think of all those cool microbes I was exposed to by getting covered in muck and working in calf sheds 🦠🤷♀️
#SustainableScience might not be on your mind, but take a look at our #labwaste Christmas🎄2020 vs 2019. Non-recyclable plastic waste is a large part of our waste stream at #Vision1@teagasc, so we changed to Rainin tips @Anachem which are 100% recyclable...
Well done everyone! Reducing our plastic use in the lab is an important step toward greener science! ♻️🦠 Looking forward to seeing what can be done in 2021. How can we re-use and upcycle what we once considered waste? Let's move away from take, make, dispose.
Tomorrow we’ll be hearing from our CEO @daniigrrrl at AlgaEurope 2020 - it’s been an exciting week for seaweed and algae already! 🙌✨@AlgaeCongresss@EABA_Algae
Prof Irene Grant & team have developed a new test for Johne's Disease - an illness that affects cattle & can be a real challenge for #farmers#vets & #dairyindustry
This test showing more sensitivity than milkELISA test - & gives results within 24 hrs!

While all human activities commit to decelerate their impact on #GlobalWarming☀️🔥🌎 it is important to understand that not all carbon emissions (CH4 vs CO2) have the same net warming effect 🐮✈️🚗🍊
To meet the growing global demand for food, agriculture has increased production while simultaneously maintaining (or even slightly reducing) its GHG emissions over the last 30 years (blue and red). Unfortunately, the energy sector has not followed suit! (green) @drsplace 1/2
