Tackling the growing disconnect between kids and farming

The Dairy Edge

About this episode

On this week’s episode of The Dairy Edge, dairy farmer, Karol Kissane, joins Emma-Louise Coffey to discuss his Nuffield studies about school students perceptions of agriculture. 

 

Karol discusses the growing disconnect in the understanding of agriculture and the basics of where food comes from with kids in urban environments.  He explains some of the ways this can be overcome using modern technology and social media.


 Karol also has advice for all farmers on how we can promote our farming life, careers and the agriculture industry in Ireland in general.
