At the launch of Agri Aware’s Farm Walk and Talk 2020 series were Wesley College students Sophie Doyle Smyth, Christopher Bailey, Rachel Patterson, Avalily l’Estrange, Ethan O’Connor and Sophie O’Connor, with Kathrina Kinsella of the Irish Farmers Journal, Teagasc chair Liam Herlihy, Agri Aware chair Alan Jagoe and UCD School of Agriculture and Food Science’s Dr Bridget Lynch at UCD Lyon’s Farm.
Due to the threat of COVID-19, Agri Aware was forced to cancel its recent planned Farm Walk and Talk event at UCD Lyons Farm. However, a virtual tour has been created for students to use instead.
UCD, Traction Media and Agri Aware recently came together to film the Farm Walk and Talk experience on Lyons Farm.

The aim is to help students gain study advice for their Leaving Certificate exam and is a practical insight into sustainable farming.
The deadline for the agricultural science project was extended by the Department of Education earlier this week.
“Agri Aware is committed to working with teachers and students by ensuring that education is continued by all possible means during this difficult COVID-19 challenge," Agri Aware executive director Marcus O’Halloran said.
“I’d like to thank UCD for kindly stepping in to film these videos on UCD Lyons Farm and for providing their vital expertise to students and their teachers during this period.
"I’d also like to thank the Irish Agricultural Science Teachers Association (IASTA) and all our patrons for their continued support of Farm Walk and Talk.”
UCD Dean of Agriculture Alex Evans said that while it was disappointing that the walk could not go ahead on Lyons Farm, his colleagues "are delighted to help students by preparing these short instructional videos on critical areas of agriculture for Ireland."
