This thought-provoking short film from Dutch filmmaker Eline Helena Schellekens and editor Kate Morgan reveals life on a factory farm through the eyes of a mother pig. Filmed on farms in the UK, Belgium and France, it shows that whilst imprisoned in farrowing crates, sows are only able to stand up or lie down until their piglets are weaned and taken away, usually at around four weeks of age. These sensitive, intelligent animals are unable to express natural behaviours. They can’t walk, let alone build nests for their piglets or forage for food. Instead, they bite and chew the bars and scrape at the floor in frustration

Honeybee colonies are essential for agriculture and the environment, they ensure plant reproduction by pollination, whilst beekeeping contributes to the development of rural areas. Beekeeping is practised in all EU countries and is characterised by diverse production conditions, yields and beekeeping practices. Learn more about it here: https://europa.eu/!Mx96RC

During this webinar, learn from John King - a Holistic Management educator/field professional based in Christchurch, New Zealand - along with some of the farmers he works with, about the approaches they have been adopting in holistic and dynamic grazing techniques: making them deliver for the individual farm and farmer, and maximising production in a changing climate (especially in relation to diverse leys).

The importance of colostrum to neonatal animals cannot be understated, getting it right in the few hours after birth is essential for the animal to have a productive healthy life.

Good ground preparation of forage crops is a large contributor to their yield potential, with a fine, firm seedbed, with the correct pH and nutrients being the ideal. Peter Lindsay, SAC Consulting Senior Consultant discusses ground preparations in this short video.

The 2030 Agri-Food Strategy proposes that the issue of food and health should be brought to a new level of political and policy importance. The pandemic reinforces this necessity.

Ireland’s 2030 Agri-Food Strategy has been developed using a ‘food systems approach’, which takes account of the links between policies for food, climate and environment, and health, as well as the role of all players in the food value chain in realising a future vision. This pioneering approach is of interest at EU and international levels, particularly in the run-up to the UN Food Systems Summit . Panellists: Tom Arnold - Chair of 2030 Agri-Food Strategy Committee Rogier Schulte - Professor, Wageningen University and Research Caroline Keeling - CEO of Keelings Dr John Bell - Director Healthy Planet, Directorate-General for Research and Innovation at EU Commission More information at gov.ie/foodsystems

The central vision for the 2030 Agri-Food Strategy is that Ireland will become a world leader in Sustainable Food Systems (SFSs) over the next decade. Sustainability in its three dimensions - economic, environmental, and social - is at the heart of this vision. The panel discussed the synergies and trade-offs between economic and environmental sustainability.

With the chemical toolbox reducing, it is more important than ever before to take an integrated approach to disease management. In this session we look at different approaches to prevent, detect and control cereal diseases. Tim Parton (Brewood Park Farm) discusses how gaining better understanding of the nutritional and biological connection between soil and plants has led to him producing healthier plants that are less susceptible to disease attack, reducing his reliance on fungicides. We are also joined by Rosalind Martin (Bayer) who goes through the work being done on pre-symptomatic Septoria wheat disease detection (Rapid Disease Detection), and how this could be used on farm. Additionally, Patrick Stephenson (NIAB TAG) will talks about disease control strategies, and what can be done to manage fungicide resistance.

Lambing is an exciting time seeing new-born lambs either in their pens or lambing outside and taking their first steps. Equally exciting is how young children love lambing time where they begin to understand the busy time, and how they are keen to help. With it being such a busy time and all hands are welcome, this simple series of cartoons show how important children look out for health and safety matters during lambing, so they have a safe and fun time during this period. We encourage you to sit with your youngsters to watch the short video to emphasise the importance of health and safety on the farm or croft.
